    You didn’t have intercoms , so calling is hard. And no cleaned after we spent a night.

    The staff are amazing.

    We spent 4 nights here in early 2024. The location is spot on - overlooking the Kazinga channel and just a few neonates from the park entrance gate. The rooms were large, clean and cool. The bathrooms are huge! Food was great and the views from the restaurant are banging. We had a great time

    Room for improvements: some Uganda decorations in lobby and rooms as well as some better maintenance.

    We highly recommend this premise due to super friendly staff, vicinity of national park, comfort of spacious rooms with big bathrooms and extra large beds and great cuisine. Moreover viewing platform enables watching wildlife right in front of your doorstep. Overall this accommodation was best value for the money on our trip around Uganda.

    The most beautiful lodge we had in Uganda! The view from the two terraces was incredible, the game drive unforgettable, the room huge and cozy and the service fantastic. We felt totally at home and can highly recommend the accommodation.

    It sounds like the neighbours are in your room!

    Was a nice experience to see the elephant visiting us next to the restaurant at night or during breakfast! We had nice sunset watching from the rooftop terrasse. The food was very good at the restaurant and we had an amazing service with Becky!! Thank you please!!

    Beautiful lodge with very friendly and helpful staff. We received a warm welcome and said goodbye even more warmly. The cottage we live in was very spacious, the bathroom was huge and the bed was also very large. the lodge is close to the canal so we had the great pleasure of seeing animals every evening/night. A safari through the Queen Elizabeth Park and a chimpanzee hike in the Kalizu Reserve were organized for us. we felt very comfortable and can highly recommended this lodge to everyone.

    We had a great stay at Enshama - initially we wanted to stay one night but extended it to three :-) There are three spacious cottages with terraces where you have a lot of privacy (a lot of trees & bushes are on the property). The owner David put a lot of hard work in this place, his staff (Becky, Sipher & Nixon) were really friendly and completed a great packages. From the restaurant you can see the Kazinga Channel and in the evenings you can spot wildlife from there (e.g. elephants and/ waterbucks). Currently the location on booking.com is not correct: Enshama is not next the main road. You can see the correct location in Google maps, then you can also check the reviews on Tripadvisor & Google ;-) I highly recommended this place.

    Best if things are cleaned up a little around the property: old building materials, etc. Shower was not optimal. Adjancent to village - is nice but on 1 evening (Friday) slightly noisy. Value for money is OK - not more or less than that.

    Beautifull deck - amazing view. Comfortable rooms. Staff was incredibly friendly. We stayed 4 nights. Elephants, waterbucks, buffalo close to the rooms. Centrally located. The place has more potential.

    Rooms are not sound proof, so when the French group in the bungalow next door have an all night party, you know about it. No WiFi on the premises, although I'm told this is due to ongoing renovation work. There were lots of bats around in the evening, not an issue for us at all, as they keep out of the way, but they are present on balconies.

    Lots of space in the rooms, nice secluded location of the bungalows in amongst the gardens, staff were all lovely. Location is perfect for safari activities, food was well done
