reception and the house

Very friendly staff! Staying at the elephant home is a great way to help the local community

The food was amazing, and the staff incredible. The only shame is that there were no longer elephants around the property, as there is now an electric fence that has been built. But this is not the fault of the Elephant Home! Stay here- you will not regret it, and we had a wonderful night drinking and chatting around the campfire they set up for us :) They also provided large buckets of hot water for us to shower in ;)

My husband and I stayed at Elephant Home last week and would highly recommend it as a great base to explore Queen Elizabeth National Park and the surrounding local community. Profits from the hotel go directly into funding community projects which the staff is happy to share more information about. The community manager was a great resource in sharing information and we enjoyed both the vanilla farming tour as well as the Kazinga Channel boat cruise. The staff were all friendly and courteous, the food was delicious, and the location is just on the other side of QENP.

The staff was very friendly and the food delicious! You could really feel how the staff liked cooking nice food and liked taking care of the guests. They are cooperating with tour guides and the prices are comparably a bit lower than those I have seen on other webpages which was also the reason why I chose this accomodation. Even traveling alone, the tours, like a game drive through the QENP and the boat cruise was very affordable. The entry to the QENP is very close to the Elephant home. During my safari, I was seeing elephants, lions and leopards very close and it was a really impressing experience! The Elephant home is directly next to the national parc, but also on the main street going from Mbarara to Kassese. I traveled with public transport and it was very easy because you could just jump out of the taxi/bus at the Elephant home and for the bus to leave, the staff stopped the bus for me, so I could enter it. There is a self-guided walk through the nature with a really beautiful view above the QENP that I enjoyed a lot! The rooms are basic, clean and had a bathroom, but don't expect a typical safari cottage like other resorts have.

Loved the concept of a community-run accommodation. Service was top notch. Location is very close to Queen Elizabeth National Park (15 minute drive) and even saw some elephants on the side of the road close by.

Food options could be improved.

Big clean room, big bed with good solid mattress. Good insect screens on windows. Jason provides fabulous customer service! Flexible, helpful staff. Good food, excellent breakfast, From the restaurant you can almost see Lake George.

Location too close to major highway so you listen to traffic noise all night. Mosquito net too small for the big bed. There is a fan but what good does it do if there is electricity for just a couple of early evening hours? Hot and noisy... didn't sleep much. So many mosquitoes everywhere you practically have to lock yourself in the room around dusk. No view to speak of, just bush.

Good location in vicinity of park boundries. Easy to get there using local transport. Good place to stay if you are on budget. Nice room with bathroom. Good breakfast. They can arrange all trips like canal boat cruise for 25 $ and it's really worth the price. Nice staff.

They charge even for hot water for coffee. No drinking water in the room. Pricy food but you can find some rolex in nearby village. Limited WiFi so bring your own if you need it.
