Uninterrupted views of Queen Elizabeth National Park
A luxury safari experience with minimal impact on the environment
An excellent option for those who want to explore Queen Elizabeth National Park, Katara Lodge is on Great Rift Valley escarpment and from the property there are splendid views of the savannah; Lake Edward and the Rwenzori mountains beyond. The property is 16km from the national park’s Katunguru Gate.
The eight elegant thatched cottages were built by the local Katara community into a hillside overlooking open savannah of the national park. The cottages have wooden floors, thatched roofs and canvas sides that can be folded for magical views of the park below. Each has a double bed which can be wheeled onto the veranda if guests prefer to sleep under the African stars (in the dry season). The en-suite bathrooms have a bath and shower. With an emphasis on minimal impact on the environment, Katara Lodge has a rainwater harvesting system; uses solar water heaters and low-flush toilets. Lighting and electrical outlets are solar-powered, using low energy CF or LED bulbs. A saltwater swimming pool reduces the lodge’s reliance on chemicals.
Aside from game-related activities offered in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Katara Lodge also serves as an ideal base for taking part in the Chimpanzee Habituation experience and forest walks in the Kalinzu Forest Reserve.

Our Difference
The Far & Wild Community...
We think that the best people to talk about an experience are those directly linked to it. Our website and brochures let the ‘real experts’ show their stuff… local experts, travellers & industry insiders. Look out for the coloured markers all around the site... they mean that you are reading something contributed directly by a person from one of these different parts of the community we are part of.
The best memories aren’t simply places and hotels, they are made up of experiences and people… so we connect with local communities, and strive for sustainable travel to make your holiday special
