About
Tembo Safari Lodge is located in Katunguru, within Queen Elizabeth National Park, just 300 metres from the Kazinga Channel — one of the park's most visited wildlife corridors. Its position makes it the most popular budget accommodation inside the park. The lodge has 10 spacious rooms built in African traditional style with grass-thatched roofs and local wood. Rooms include mosquito nets, hot and cold showers, flushing toilets, free bottled water, free toiletries, and balconies with panoramic views of the Kazinga Channel. Room types include standard single rooms, double and twin rooms, and a Tembo Cottage with two self-contained rooms, wooden varnished floors, large working desks, and balconies overlooking the channel. The lodge organises activities including game drives, Kazinga Channel boat cruises, fishing, biking tours, and nature-guided walks. The onsite restaurant serves local and continental dishes, and the bar is stocked with wines, spirits, beer, and soft drinks.
