Iconic Hotels

Set on a bluff above the Kazinga Channel, The River Station is the place to be in the Queen Elizabeth area.  Guests hardly need to leave the lodge to have excellent wildlife-viewing…(elephants parade past the breakfast table) but leave they must to experience the wonders of the Kyambura Game Reserve.

With in-house resident guides, guests can explore the 7 crater lakes, track chimpanzees, find a hyena den, follow lion cubs and enjoy the privacy of the low-impact zone.  And when the afternoon sun is hot and the breeze ruffles the water, climb aboard the dhow – a first in Uganda – and sail the waters of the Kazinga Channel.

Sophisticated, unpretentious and timeless, The River Station (and its gorgeous little sister Honey Bear Bush Camp) are the only accommodation in the entire Game Reserve and guests are likely to have the whole Reserve to themselves.  With added luxuries like private plunge pools in every room and a safari spa perched over a water hole for a ‘massage-with-a-view’, this new lodge in the Wildplaces portfolio is a game-changer on the western Uganda circuit.
