This is a great place to get a real African experience in terms of scenery. It is right in the middle of Queen Elizabeth National Park. The game drive and trip on the lake was fantastic. After a long day sight-seeing the pool was a lovely way to relax. There were loads of animals to see - lots of elephants,... more

Just stayed at the Mweya Safari Lodge and had a horrible infestation of bed bugs. Nasty experience. And the first person I spoke to at the front desk insisted they were mosquitoes. Didn't seem to want to bother. Had to go back again, and the next person confirmed there was an infestation of bed bugs. Yuck. Would not recommend. more

Management response from

“Response to the recent posting on the 25th of January complaining of bed bugs at Mweya Safari Lodge.” The management of the Lodge takes any complaints of this nature very seriously and although this is the first time ever in over a decade that a complaint of this nature has been received by us the room in question was temporarily...

This is really the only place to stay if you want to be close to the game drives and boat rides offered early morning so we had a friend make the booking for us which included all meals. That is necessary because it is remotely located. It had been raining for over a week when we arrived so the road... more

This place is amazing - we stayed in the very horrible and grotty hostel beside it the night before and had the worst night ever in Uganda so we decieded to spoil ourselves and upgrade! And it really was amazing - can't speak highly enough of it. Staff were really friendly and efficent , the food was excellent, rooms had... more

After a wonderful stay at Bwindi Lodge and Mihingo Lodge, we were transported to this awful time-warped 80s place. To be fair, the location is great, overlooking the Lake. But that's about it. The food in the restaurant is Westernized, badly cooked standard fare. The birds on the terrace take the bread from your desk and relieve themselves on your... more

Pretty much everyone who’s been to QENP is familiar with Mweya, since it occupies a fabulous location on a peninsula overlooking the Kazinga Channel and Lake Edward. Because it's so far from anything else, Mweya is a self-contained community, with guide and staff lodging, a petrol station, etc., and it's worth taking the time to stroll around the grounds. Everyone... more

My wife and I enjoyed a 3-night stay in this lodge, which is such a well-oiled machine that it can almost be described as a tourist processor. Though it definitely lacks the intimacy and the wilderness feeling of a tented camp, this luxury-hotel-in-the-bush is exceptionally well located indeed. While the rooms are nothing to write home about, the food really... more

This is a beautiful spot to see Queen Elizabeth National Park but I was disappointed with the lodge itself. The rooms are older and uncared for; our curtains didn't open without almost pulling them off the ceiling and the back door was virtually impossible to lock and unlock. After having stayed at the sister lodge Paraa at Murchison Falls last... more

Stayed for 3 nights at the beautiful lodge. Standard rooms are a sort of basic luxury - no a/c, tv, or fancy modern fittings, but if you're lucky enough to venture out of the park into the REAL Uganda you'll understand that this would be a near impossible feat! However, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the place really... more
