Twin Lakes Safari Lodge is a rustic, mid-range accommodation perched on the edge of the Bunyaruguru escarpment, offering sweeping views of Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda. Its elevated position—about 270 meters above the plains—affords guests breathtaking panoramas of Lakes Edward and George, the Rwenzori Mountains, and the surrounding crater lakes.

The lodge features nine thatched cottages, including family units, with a total capacity of around 30 guests. Each room is a spacious canvas tent under a permanent grass-thatched roof, equipped with en-suite bathrooms, hot showers, flush toilets, and private verandas overlooking the park. Guests often spot wildlife such as elephants grazing nearby, adding to the immersive safari experience.

What to do at the Lodge

Activities at the lodge include guided game drives through Queen Elizabeth National Park, boat cruises on the Kazinga Channel, nature walks, swimming, and cultural performances.

Dining options include continental breakfasts, buffet-style lunches and dinners, all served with warm Ugandan hospitality. The lodge also offers free parking and internet access, making it convenient for both self-drive and guided tours.
