Hotels Near Kazinga Channel Community Boat in Bunyaruguru

Engiri Game Lodge is located in a peaceful setting close to the Kazinga Channel. The cabins are spaced out to afford privacy. We had a spacious and bright room, simple but clean, with a large bathroom. The beds have mosquito nets but we did not encounter any when we stayed there. There is a portable fan to keep the room cool enough to sleep. The cabin has a terrace with seating and was shady. The main building houses the upstairs restaurant some of which is outdoors where you can observe the weaver birds in the trees. The food is all freshly made, is delicious, and reasonably priced. We are both vegetarian and had no problem eating there. The Lodge organised the boat safari on the Channel for us where we saw hippos, crocodiles, monitor lizards, elephants and many species of birds. They also arrange very economical game drives either early morning or afternoon. We had excellent help from the Marketing Manager who arranged private transport for us to reach the Lodge as well as assistance for our onward travel. In fact all the staff was really friendly and attentive. A bonus for us was hearing the wildlife at night, and also the arrival of an elephant in the morning looking for some discarded food from the kitchen. We had such a wonderful relaxing time there, a real highlight that we thoroughly recommend.
