Among Uganda’s three national parks, the western-most Queen Elizabeth National Park is among the most popular destinations for tourists. In addition to the aforementioned parks, visitors often visit Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to see gorillas and birds, Kibale National Park to walk habituated chimpanzees, and Murchison Falls National Park to embark on game drives and Nile boat excursions.

Finding a place to stay is only one of several obstacles that prevent local and foreign travelers from enjoying Queen Elizabeth National Park. Cottages that are inexpensive and reasonable. Several inexpensive lodges have sprung up in and around Queen Elizabeth National Park to accommodate the increasing number of tourists. Guests can stay at these establishments and save money that they can then use toward other park activities, like boat cruises, game drives, and park admission.

The Ecology Institute

Among the park’s more established budget hotels, this one dates back to the early days of Queen Elizabeth National Park. For those seeking affordable choices in Queen Elizabeth National Park, the Institute of Ecology is situated on Mweya Peninsular, near Mweya Safari Lodge. They have both en suite and non-self-contained accommodations.

Thanks to the camp’s convenient location, guests may go to the ecological museum, take a boat ride on Kazinga Channel, and see creatures that frequent the peninsula. Since Mweya Safari Lodge is within walking distance, you may easily go there for meals and remain at this camp if you like. Anyone planning to stay at this lodge should be aware that the service and quality have been declining recently.

Quarters at UWA

Prior to moving their headquarters to Katunguru, the Uganda Wildlife Authority staff had been using these rooms. After undergoing renovations, they now provide as an affordable lodging alternative on the peninsula. While this facility does not offer meals, there is a canteen in the area that serves a variety of dishes. The canteen was formerly owned by the Uganda Wildlife Authority but is now privately managed. Or you might take a stroll to the Mweya Safari resort for some lunch.

Inn at Kazinga Channel

On the other side of Kazinga canal, outside Queen Elizabeth National Park, you may find this. It was founded by the manager of the Institute of Ecology to provide budget-friendly options for travelers. The facility includes both dormitories and en suite rooms.

Simba safari lodge

Another affordable alternative for travelers planning to visit Queen Elizabeth National Park is Simba Safari Camp, which is owned and operated by Uganda Lodges. This camp offers economically priced services to everyone with restricted budgets; it is located outside the park off the Queen-Kasese route.

The Bunyaruguru region and Kasese town are teeming with budget and inexpensive housing options, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to locate one that suits your budget. The Uganda Wildlife Authority also manages a number of campsites in the southern section of the park, in the areas of Mweya and Ishasha, for visitors who would rather bring their own tents.
