About
Mweya Safari Lodge enjoys a superb location, perched atop a peninsula jutting into the Kazinga Channel — the meandering waterway at the heart of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Every room overlooks the channel, which boasts the world's largest concentration of hippos. In the distance rise the volcanic Rwenzori Range, the famed Mountains of the Moon. Accommodations range from breeze-cooled standard rooms and deluxe air-conditioned lodge rooms to huge luxury tents and a grand Presidential Cottage furnished with leather and rich hardwoods. All have en-suite facilities and magnificent views of the Kazinga Channel and Lakes George and Edward. Guests may enjoy drinks amid the classic safari ambience of the Tembo Bar, and meals in the formal dining room or on the veranda. Special barbecues and traditional dancing are offered on Saturday nights. The lodge also has an infinity pool, a health club, spa, gym, hair salon, sauna, and steam bath. Activities from the lodge include Kazinga Channel boat cruises, game drives on the Kasenyi Plains, chimpanzee trekking in Kyambura Gorge, birdwatching across the park's 619 species, and cultural visits to surrounding communities.
