The staff were above excellent with friendly service and so helpful and nothing was too much to ask for. The security were super generous with their time to ensure I had the experience of the animals when they came into the lodge. The room is lovely. The decor and layout was excellent, and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The viewing room upstairs was amazing and I would have liked to spend more time just to sit and watch from the high lookout over the forest and to the river. The fruit bowl was a lovely touch but there was no cutlery or plates to use. The food was fine, but some dishes were maybe a little overcooked. Yoghurt and a muesli/granola would have been a good addition for breakfast. In summary I would definitely recommend Buffalo Safari Lodge.

Beautiful and private accommodations near Queen Elizabeth National Park and on the channel. The grounds are wonderful with lots of animals wandering nearby. The food was excellent, staff excellent, the cottages are beautiful with a balcony to look out over the landscape and the channel. Wish we could have stayed a few more days!
