This is a lovely safari lodge near Queen Elizabeth NP. The staff are so kind and helpful, the room is large, clean, and comfortable, the property is beautiful, and the food was very good. Godard and the rest of the staff took very good care of us. We would definitely recommend Buffalo Safari Lodge!

Buffalo Lodge excels in catering for guests requirements. Wonderfully comfortable rooms. Relaxed and professional from start to end. I highly recommend this property if considering a visit to this region of Uganda. Super Special shoutout to Alfred; courteous and so sooooo friendly. Thank you Buffalo Lodge for an excellent experience.

This was a wonderful experience during our longer tour through Uganda & Rwanda. It was one of our fave lodges out of about 8 that we stayed in. We stayed on Christmas Eve, and they very kindly upgraded our room since the lodge was not completely full, so our cabin was truly fabulous, and I only wish we'd had more time to enjoy it. The beds are very comfortable, and the decor is perfect for the location. It's super close to the National Park for game drives, boat rides, and I'm sure other activities. The dinner was great, and the service / staff was even better! I wish there was wifi throughout the resort, or at least in each of the cabins, but I have nothing negative to say at all and would definitely recommend this lodge to others.

Our stay was an unforgettable experience. The spacious lodge has great personal service and one of the many highlights is the dining by the fire, sunset and here and there a big animal to sight. Safari was included as we enjoyed our time at the pool.

I was impressed by the little details that made a big difference — like the three pillows on the bed, each with a different firmness. Such a simple but thoughtful touch from the Lodge, ensuring every guest finds their comfort. The entire place feels private and beautifully maintained. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed with warm or cold hand towels, and the staff seem to anticipate your needs before you even ask. Overall, the experience has been exceptional. If I had to point out one thing, it would be the appetizer choice. The food is outstanding, but serving a small pizza as a starter felt a bit out of place. And as for the majestic landlord — that’s something you’ll have to experience for yourself. A true highlight.
