Really frustrated with this place as so much potential and yet it seems they can’t be bothered to change things.

First of all, there’s no wifi in the rooms and the supposed wifi in the food area works so inconsistently it’s practically useless. The room is also a bit stuffy so a fan would really help. Despite having a mosquito net over the bed, which is truly essential as the environment is SO buggy, mine had a rip at the top, so I spent a miserable night trying to kill the buzzing mosquitos around my ears. Even when my tour guide told the manager about it for the next night, it WASN’T FIXED. Seriously, how useless are you as a manager?!

It is pitch black as night so an FYI you need someone to walk you to and fro on the grounds.

The outdoor shower is the best part in its design and open ceiling to the stars. The water is hot but there’s only a small trickle. There’s no in between of scalding or cold - I’ve found this all over Uganda.

The interior design is rustic and simple, but the wood floors next a good scrub. My feet were dirty after walking across with bare feet.

Honestly, the meals were the best part, even though taking orders seemed realllly hard for the slow staff. As if they didn’t understand what items you wanted after being suggested. That said, the scrambled eggs tasted really fresh and the pancakes were a pleasant surprise in being so American 🇺🇸 The tilapia dinner I had one night was ace and the lemongrass tea is light and refreshing. Not so good was the horrid lemon “cake”: stale and dry, just throw it away. The mixed vegetables were also bland.

I wouldn’t recommend...

I stayed here for 2 nights and I absolutely would not recommend. I wish I could give zero stars. Upon entering my lodge, I noticed rat droppings on the bed and on the fixtures. On the second night, I noticed a furry creature running across my luggage and up the curtain and then disappeared. I closed my mosquito net and went to sleep but was awakened at 2.30am with this “rat” in my bed!! I called my guide to come to my room because you can not leave the room due to the wild animals that roam the property. I was placed into a “newer” cottage but as soon as I laid down, there was another rat climbing up the curtains. I just laid there on my phone with the light on it and then a bat swooped down to the phone. I closed the nets and waited for daylight when I could leave this place. Upon research, I determined this was a “mane rat” native to the area and poisonous. Although the owner saw me in the morning, he never bothered to speak to me about my experience. There is no WiFi in the cottages and no way to contact security if there is an issue. It is not safe to leave the cottage after dark because there are hippos that roam the property as I saw one the first night there and could hear it and hyenas all night. The meals were not as good as the other lodges I stayed at and the bugs in the dining area make it unbearable to eat. The only positive thing I can say about this place is that the ginger/lemongrass tea is...
