Elephant Hab Lodge
Elephant Hab Lodge is a stylish safari lodge overlooking Queen Elizabeth National Park, offering spacious private cottages, an infinity pool, warm hospitality, spa treatments and easy access to chimpanzee trekking, game drives and the Kazinga Channel.
Where the Savannah Meets the Gorge A warm and stylish retreat above Queen Elizabeth National Park, where elephants, dramatic views and thoughtful hospitality come together.
Perched on the edge of the spectacular Kyambura Gorge, Elephant Hab Lodge offers an intimate base for exploring Queen Elizabeth National Park. Its elevated position provides broad views across the park and surrounding savannah, while the lodge's location within an elephant-rich area creates the possibility of wildlife sightings directly from the property.
The lodge comprises 12 rooms/cottages, with single, double, twin, triple and family configurations. The private cottages combine wood, canvas and grass-thatched construction with king-size beds, en-suite bathrooms, mosquito nets, private balconies and generous living space. The current property description emphasises locally styled interiors and private decks overlooking the surrounding landscape.
One of Elephant Hab's strongest features is its infinity swimming pool, positioned to overlook Queen Elizabeth National Park. Guests can relax beside the pool while watching the sunset and, with some luck, observe elephants grazing below. The lodge also has a dedicated Therapy Hub, offering massage and wellness treatments for guests returning from game drives or chimpanzee trekking.
Dining is equally experience-focused. Guests can eat in the main restaurant, beside the pool or privately on their cottage veranda, with menus combining local Ugandan flavours and international cuisine. The lodge also hosts a special barbecue under the stars on selected evenings and accommodates special dietary requirements with advance notice.
