Little Elephant Camp

Top choice in Southwestern Uganda


This dream safari camp features a few impeccable tents outfitted with grills and your own personal kitchen and living-room tent. Comfortable and ultraprivate, it's ideal for groups or families. Your hosts are a lovely Canadian couple who have thought out every old-school adventure detail from custom-made director's chairs to wooden trunks and open-air solar-heated showers fenced behind each tent.

Guests cook for themselves, but can get a little help with cold drinks, salads, marinated steaks and chicken supplied by hosts for extra. Don't be surprised if you hear elephants trumpeting at night – the land abuts the northern end of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Hosts also can provide personalised safaris (half-day US$65) in their Land Cruiser.
