Spacious cottages and excellent service. Our waiter Godard was superb! If you love wild animals, you will be able to see warthogs and antilopes from the pool. In the lodge itself you might run into John the Elephant and mongoose. The wildlife experience at the lodge is really special. While the food was alright, it could be improved somewhat (especially the breakfast buffet, and overall less salt). Lastly, the boat tour at the nearby Kazinga channel was incredible with loads of elephants, hippos, birds and buffaloes.

This stay was absolutely magnificent. The staff attentiveness, service and friendliness was second to none. The food was some of the best food I have had in Uganda. Our server Godard was fantastic. The view was spectacular with lots of wildlife. We enjoyed lounging by the pool with the incredible view as well as a bush tour with Hilary. I would stay here again! The best lodge in Queen Elizabeth!

Perfect place with excellent staff and food. Wildlife is right outside and respect is giving. Local food is also served so you can actually try something authentic rather than the classic western food only. Room are super spacious and incredibly well maintained! Would come back any time!

If you get the house i got you get a HUGE house. I never got that luxury with such a good price! Food was perfect. The swimming pool was huge and nice too. But a bit cold. If you are luky and when your swimming you can get a elephant drinking. Perfect

The rooms are very spacious, and everything was great. The security was excellent and the guards made sure to guide us safely to our rooms in early morning hours or late night hours. The food was very good and all the staff were smart and friendly

Thanks to all the staff at Buffalo for a wonderful stay. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, the food was great and the hospitality was amazing. Special thanks to Alfred our waiter for organising a special table on our last night - he was so kind and attentive. Thanks also to Hillary who looked after our refreshment and birdwatching needs poolside. And a true highlight of the trip was a visit to the camp and the pool by an elephant bull, fondly named Barrack. (apparently he's quite a regular) What a special experience!

Really nice staff! Food was good. We had full board and so there is a set menu with a few options for each meal. I’ve never stayed at another lodge here and so can’t compare but this was nice. There is a pool that overlooks a small clearing where elephants and buffalos come.
