Overview

About Elephant Plains Lodge

Perched on the Albertine Rift, where luxury meets unmatched horizons over Queen Elizabeth National Park.

“Unmatched escarpment views, spacious cottages, and Lake Kikorongo's elephants at your feet—just be prepared to negotiate steep hillside paths and standard national park regulations instead of private concession freedoms.”
