Mweya Safari Lodge sits on a peninsula between Lake Edward and the Kazinga Channel, one of Uganda’s original safari lodges, with a history stretching back decades and a position that puts guests directly between two of the park’s most productive wildlife corridors.
Rooms & Table
The Rooms
Rooms and cottages with views over the Kazinga Channel or Lake Edward, comfortably furnished in a straightforward, established safari style.
Food & Service
Ugandan and international dishes served with channel views, in a lodge whose long operating history gives its staff genuine institutional knowledge of the park.
Activities
Boat safaris on the Kazinga Channel, renowned for one of Africa’s densest hippo concentrations, plus game drives and chimpanzee tracking at nearby Kyambura Gorge.
Wildlife & Photography
The Kazinga Channel supports one of the highest hippo densities on the continent, alongside significant elephant, buffalo and Nile crocodile populations along its banks.
A Photographer's Note
Boat safaris on the Kazinga Channel offer water-level photography of hippo, buffalo and elephant drinking that a land vehicle simply cannot replicate.
Conservation & Impact
The lodge’s decades of operation have made it a consistent supporter of Queen Elizabeth National Park’s ranger and research programmes.
