Elephant Plains Lodge

Elephant Plains is a luxury lodge located on the most spectacular viewpoint in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Perched 941 metres above sea level, high upon the western escarpment of the Albertine rift in the northeast of the park, the lodge offers panoramic views stretching for miles over the huge open grasslands to Lake George.

Set in 80 acres of pristine wilderness, a short drive from the park gate, nowhere else can you sleep closer to the equator. Nestled next to beautiful Lake Kikorongo, this is where the open plains merge into the crystal waters and large numbers of Elephants come to drink from the water, hence the lodges name.

The lodge has 8 luxury en-suite cottages, six double/twin ensuite cottages and two family cottages each with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. All of the cottages at Elephant Plains Lodge have glass windows and private spacious verandas to take advantage of the incredible views of the park.

A short drive to the Kasenyi plains offers an open savannah filled with various wild animals. This area has fantastic game viewing, a huge number of grassland birds and is a major breeding ground for the Ugandan Kob which readily attracts lions and other big cats to the area. The open plains and large number of wildlife mean photographic safaris are extremely rewarding.

Enjoy the activities on offer at Elephant Plains Lodge, including game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park, lake cruises on the Kazinga Channel, chimpanzee tracking in Kyambura Gorge, lion tracking in Kasenyi Plains, nature walks in Maramagambo Forest, Kikorongo community visits and learning about Lake Katwe traditional salt mining.
