Welcome to Elephant Hab Lodge
Elephant Hab Lodge is a luxurious safari lodge on the periphery of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Elephant Hab Lodge is located in the spectacular Kyambura Gorge, approximately 10 minutes drive away from the chimpanzee tracking point and positioned within the habitat of elephants. As the herds of grazing Elephants visit, guests are able to watch over from the beautiful infinity pool and from your private balcony of your cottage. On a daily basis other animals are sighted at the lodge and are happy to welcome you to Elephant Hab Lodge. The velvet monkeys are always excited to see our guests at meal times and would love nothing more than to sit down and eat with you. However, you may not be able to help yourself but please don’t feed the monkeys. ‘The lodge is a marvel of wood, canvas, and grass-thatched roofs that blends with its environs’. The lodge has private cottages that can accommodate occupancies of single, double, triple, and family size groups. Elephant Hab Lodge provides one of the finest accommodations around the Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Our Absolute Favorite Lodge of the Trip! Highly Recommend.
We enjoyed all the lodges during our safari tour, but this one sits above the rest. The gracious, genuine hospitality and pride the staff exudes will create memories to last a lifetime. The facilities are charming and impeccably maintained. Our rooms had the only comfortable mattresses we experienced in Uganda! Thank you to all the staff at Elephant Hab.

Beautiful lodge with amazing garden in the land of elephants
Such a beautiful place to spend your holidays, everything was just great and I only wish I could have stayed longer, the staff was very friendly and accommodating, the room I stayed in was simply astonishing and had one of the best views you can get, monkeys and other small animals in the huge green garden were just adding some magic to this fantastic place.

Great staff and very nice rooms!
During a trip to four East African countries, my husband and I stayed in 10 different hotels. Elephant Hab and Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge were our two favorites. Judas is the nicest most helpful person and he made our stay here great, as did the other staff. The rooms are large and the gardens are very nice. We enjoyed the meals as well as the view of the wild life. We would stay here again for certain and suggest anyone looking for a pleasant stay near Queen Elizabeth National Park stay here as well. It is very near the park and often has animal visitors such as baboons.

It was an amazing experience in the middle of the jungle, the lodge is very comfortable, rooms are big, clean and beautiful. Staff is very kind, and help us in any way. It’s located near to queen elizabeth National park, what make easy have a game drive watching animals and to go to the kazinga chance, and end your day in the pool having a relaxing time.

“We enjoyed our time at Elephant Hab. The customer service is excellent, the rooms are spacious and well-maintained, and the food is plentiful. The room has a lovely porch with comfortable chairs to enjoy the view. Mosquito nets are there - but we were pleasantly surprised by the lack of bothersome bugs! The bathroom is quite large.
The food is tasty, with lots of fresh fruit and other fresh offerings. A bonus was the infinity pool looking out over the amazing vista. The water was a bit cold, but the loungers were brand new, and it was fun to curl up there with a good book. The wifi is not strong at all, but are you really there for the wifi.”

“We stayed here for two nights during our short safari. The place is amazing and you could see the elephant from your porch. Rooms are nice. Lots of hot water which could benefit from a stronger water pressure. Staff is great as his the food especially in dinner. Highly recommended”
