A comfortable lodge on the Mweya peninsula above the Kazinga Channel, with a pool, a health club, boat trips on the channel and game drives in Uganda's best-known park.
The short answerMweya Safari Lodge is a Classic Comfort lodge on a peninsula above the Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda. It has standard and deluxe rooms and family cottages, a pool with channel views, a health club, and boat trips and game drives on its doorstep. It is a practical, good-value base before or after gorilla trekking.
Mweya Safari Lodge sits on a peninsula in Queen Elizabeth National Park, looking over the Kazinga Channel. The channel links two lakes and draws hippos, buffalo and elephants to its banks, so wildlife is often in view from the lodge itself.
Queen Elizabeth is the usual stop between Murchison Falls and Bwindi on a Uganda circuit. Our Uganda itineraries show how it fits with gorilla trekking.
The lodge lists standard rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom and a balcony, and deluxe rooms with air conditioning. There are also a honeymoon suite, luxury tents, and Family, Queen and Presidential Cottages with two or three bedrooms. The cottages are air conditioned and some have a small kitchenette.

Birdwatchers will like the area: 612 bird species have been recorded. To add gorillas, see gorilla trekking in Uganda.
