Mweya Safari Lodge is located in western Uganda on a high plateau of the 1900 Km2 Queen Elizabeth National Park- named after the British Monarch. Built during the British colonial days it is nestled amidst the mountain ranges of the Rwenzori in the west and Rift Valley Hills to the east overlooking the meandering Kazinga channel that connects Lake George and Lake Edward. Uganda was once described by Sir Winston Churchill as the “Pearl of Africa”.
Mweya Safari Lodge is located on a peninsula within the heart of the Queen Elizabeth National Park overlooking the Kazinga channel and surrounded by the magical, three spiked, otherworldly Rwenzori Mountains aptly described as the ‘mountains of the moon’.
A day at Mweya
Begin with an early morning game drive into the wilds of Queen Elizabeth National Park which is globally famous for its diverse bird species, game as well as other flora and fauna. Return in time for a sumptuous breakfast. One can also go for a chimp trekking safari at Kyambura gorge, tea and coffee plus muffins will be served before departing as well as refreshing packed breakfast.. Return at the Lodge in time for lunch.
A river boat cruise in the late afternoon. This is an exploration of the Kazinga channel with its abundant hippos, crocodiles, buffaloes also a haven for bird enthusiasts. Return to the Lodge in time for dinner under the stars.
Or you are spoilt with a choice of unwinding at the extensive health club or simply enjoying a refreshing cocktail by the pool with its unparalleled view of Lake Edward & Lake George stretching into the horizon
Wildlife watching
