Tembo Safari Lodge

This place is amazing! An elephant wandered through the site around dinner time, that was a first! The main lodge along with the food and staff is fabulous! I really had a lovely time. My tent cabin was incredible, clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this lodge to all!

We stayed here for 2 nights as we were planning a school trip in the future. The location was fantastic and there were some great views and lovely surroundings. The owner (Fellie) was very friendly and helpful and made some great meals whilst we were there. The location is very close to the park and above one of the areas where boats and ferries leave from. Definitely recommend this place whilst in Queens.

Amazing rooms with private balconies overlooking the Kazinga channel and hot water all very reasonably priced. Walking distance to boat tours. Staff all incredibly friendly and helpful phoning people for us and letting us check out late after a morning activity. Food delicious although cheaper to order off menu than do full board deals. Couldnt recommend more.

It the best all around queen Elizabeth ,it’s accessible and has welcoming staff the food was served on time and the beds were so comfortable literally it was my home away from home❤️and the lady called grace is the best always smiling my name sake🙌😩

Beautiful vieuw right next to the kazinga channel. The location is very accessible from the village Katungu. Good place for spotting birds. Hippos walking around the grounds. Doesn't get more wild than this!

Second time staying here and I enjoyed the visit. Nice budget option with fab views of the Kazinga channel. Great place to stay when doing the boat cruise as you can walk to the community boats. The food was delicious! Rooms are fab, nice and big. Unfortunately hot water wasn't working when we were there. Other than that the stay was great. The hippos come around at night and you can hear them munching around the room and vocalising from the water.

Tembo Safari Lodge was the perfect spot for us to stay. We stayed two nights and could have easily stayed longer! Fellie is so personable and welcoming, we found all the staff extremely helpful. The accommodations, food and service were all great. We stayed in one of their family cottages. The location was just what I hoped for, the best of both worlds. We had a great view of the Kasinga Channel with a private, comfortable deck seating area to enjoy it. We could hear and watch wildlife as well as faint sounds of town and the boat dock area. Hippos pass by at night and before dawn feeding on the grass. We loved listening to their sounds. Some of the high end resorts are so far removed from the wonderful culture and community we found exploring Ugandan communities. At Tembo Safari Lodge we were situated just off the edge of town, town was in easy walking distance through a back gate. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with locally crafted decorations and furnishings. The price was just what we needed to make our trip possible. The boat dock is in view of the cottages and within easy walking distance. Fellie arranged for a cruise at a time that worked with our schedule with two locals. It was fabulous. The lodge is less than a 10 minute drive from the Kasenyi park entrance and the start of the loop through the Explosion Craters area of the Park. There is no question that we will stay here again on our next visit!

Excellent, spacious, very clean room with an excellent balcony overlooking the channel. Very well located. Easy walk to boat trip and permits for park can be bought from the same location. Very friendly staff. Evening meals were a bit disappointing but lunch and breakfast fine. Calls itself a budget hotel which makes it sound a bit down-market - it isn't. It is however very reasonably priced.

This place is absolutely stunning!!! The best place so far in our week stay so far in Uganda. Rooms are beautifully furnished and spacious with amazing views to the Mazinga channel. Service is super professional and friendly and food is made of delicious local dishes with a variety of choices. We highly recommend it. Best of the best value for price. Feli is a warm, friendly and professional manager/ owner.
