Located on the Ntungwe River in the Southern Ishasha region of Queen Elizabeth National Park, Ishasha Wilderness Camp is a perfect getaway for those who genuinely appreciate the outdoors. In this secluded and untainted area of the National Park, this luxury camp combines the allure of a wilderness tented camp with first-rate service. The Ishasha savannahs are well-known for its population of tree-climbing lions, which occasionally can be seen napping in the fig trees’ branches. Since the camp is inside the park, wildlife is also free to move through it. Residents of the Black-and-White Colobus troop and vervet monkeys are regularly spotted, and elephants may be seen bathing in the river.
Ishasha Wilderness Camp is a serene haven on the banks of the Ntungwe River, nestled in the farthest regions of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Ten large tented rooms that seamlessly blend into their untamed natural surroundings create a real haven in the middle of nowhere. Huge beds with mosquito nets overlook private verandas with magnificent views of the river. Hot bush showers and flushing toilets, along with the simple yet exquisite interior design, guarantee a sense of perfect comfort in this untamed environment.
Meals are served al fresco on the riverbanks or in the comfortable dining area, with a large thatched lounge offering the perfect spot for visitors to unwind. The perfect focal point for visitors to gather around and enjoy refreshing beverages while swapping tales of the day’s exploits is a crackling bonfire. Activities include bush walks and wildlife drives in some of the most pristine and isolated areas of Queen Elizabeth National Park. There’s also the chance to visit the neighbouring hamlet and get a look at the traditional healers and schools there.
