Ishasha Wilderness Camp : Rates, Reviews, Booking Information

In the realm of tree-climbing lions

The backdrop provided by Queen Elizabeth National Park is excellent, featuring the Rwenzori Mountains to the north and the Virunga volcanoes to the south.  Ishasha Wilderness Camp invites you to immerse yourself in the wilderness of an exceptionally beautiful location, complemented by superior services and amenities.

The reserve is distinguished by its volcanic cones and crater lakes, while the lions in Ishasha are famous for their tree-climbing behavior.  Approximately 100 mammalian species inhabit this region, including Cape buffalo, elephants, Uganda kob, and topi, which congregate in substantial herds.  Additionally, there are more than 500 avian species to satisfy birdwatchers.

The camp is situated along the wooded bank of the Ntungwe River, the sole camp within a 70km radius.  Ten expansive Canvas Rooms have sizable mosquito-netted mattresses and en suite bathrooms equipped with hot water bush showers and environmentally sustainable flushing toilets.  Solar energy is utilized for illumination, although power outlets for charging cameras are restricted to a central location.  Meals are savored in the thatched dining area or on the shaded riverside, complemented by a lounge and bar that enhance the facilities.
