We had such attentive service. Everyone was so kind and helpful. They have very comfortable beds. It fun to view so many animals just from the property. We really enjoyed our stay. It was nice being so close to Queen Elizabeth park. Very nice place

We had a lovely 2-night stay at Buffalo Safari Lodge. Friendly, helpful staff. (Our server, Alfred, was fabulous!) Clean, comfortable and spacious rooms. Beautiful grounds. Delicious meals. Convenient location for exploring Queen Elizabeth NP. Wish we had more time to enjoy watching the wildlife from the infinity pool!

A very special place in the middle of the park, with wild animals roaming around. The location is great, staff was friendly, especially the guard Henrik was the best of them all. The room was very nice, clean and comfortable. Food was great. There were only two significant downsides: - they were late with breakfast for 25 minutes (we agreed the night before to have it at 6:00 am, as is the normal procedure) - laundry was very bad - clothes were still smelly and wet when we got them back in the evening (even tho it was sunny the whole day) So that's the downside, but I reckon it'll be improved. Otherwise it's really a great and special place.

The entire lodge is amazing — gracious and helpful staff, gorgeous cottages, lovely pool, fantastic food. Every little detail is well thought out and attended to. Loved watching wildlife from the deck of the pool. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay…only wish we could have stayed longer!

Fabulous lodge in the heart of the national park . At times animals in the lodge grounds but always felt safe. Amazing staff so welcoming and went out of their way to ensure our stay was great. Totally exceeded our expectations. Our room was absolutely amazing beds so comfortable.

The service was exceptional, particularly thanks to Alfred, who was incredibly attentive. The swimming pool and outdoor areas were stunning, offering spectacular views. We even had the unique experience of seeing elephants near the pool area. The food was delicious, adding to an already memorable stay. I highly recommend this place

I've stayed here twice, 2022 and again June 2024. It's a nice place, friendly staff. Bungalows are huge. Very lovely furniture. Good food. Wildlife right at your door, literally. Two elephants were munching on vegetation outside my bungalow. They had at least 1-2 guards on the grounds and staff to walk you to and from our bungalow at twilight. The big negative: the bathroom. As in 2022, in 2024 the shower barely works. They have the shower plumbed with a full metal fixture, but that has never worked on my visits. Instead they have a plastic shower head/wand on the opposite wall from the metal fixtures and a small, plastic water heater mounted by it. I had to turn on the water heater in the main room 10-15 minutes before showering. Then turn on the water heater. The water flow was paltry, very meager. My friends had a day with no water in their bungalow. I'd give this place 5 stars if they could fix the shower issues. And improve the lighting around the sink. It's a huge bathroom, dark, and the sink counter is deep, so I stood 2 feet from the mirror. Not good for shaving. I'll be looking at other locations if I ever go back since I can't be sure they will fix the shower problems.
