The staff are super friendly and helpful. They went way above and beyond what you expect from normal guesthouse staff. The location is good for accessing Queen Elizabeth Park.

My husband and I stayed at Elephant Home last week and would highly recommend it as a great base to explore Queen Elizabeth National Park and the surrounding local community. Profits from the hotel go directly into funding community projects which the staff is happy to share more information about. The community manager was a great resource in sharing information and we enjoyed both the vanilla farming tour as well as the Kazinga Channel boat cruise. The staff were all friendly and courteous, the food was delicious, and the location is just on the other side of QENP.

We booked this only 2 hours in advance, but we were very happy we did. Our room was spacious, with decent nets and a comfortable bathroom. The view from the restaurant on the park is also very beautiful. As a bonus, this lodge is a community project: it is owned and runned by the local community.

Very friendly staff. Nice restaurant with terrace for breakfast and lunch. The dinner ist served in the garden and a camp fire was litt. Very Cosy. They organize community tours like cotton growing, crafts etc. as well as guided boat or jeep safari. Queen Elisabeth National Park ist right across the street. Mobile phones can be charged at the restaurant. Therefore they start a generator. We arranged with other guests to avoid extra long run times. Rooms are lit Independent of the generator by solar and battery. Daily changing choices of 4 dishes each day. Cooked and served with love. If wished for, packed breakfast to take on your Safari ist available.

This is a wonderful project by and for the community of Kikorongo, and it is an inspiring experience to see how its tireless staff face every challenge without losing their smiles: No water or electricity mains and yet they have a beautiful garden and comfy rooms and tents; limited ingredients but tasty dishes every day... I have sung with them, danced with them, walked with them, and thoroughly enjoyed the company and the lessons of one of kindest people I have met in my many travels. Thank you so much Jason, Dennis, Kutafi, Felex, Lillian and Karen. In my heart forever!

Very friendly staff, respecting individual wishes, spontaneous changing of the rooms, confirmation of the orders for dinner and breakfast, flexible organisation of the whole stay and activities. They even accompanied us on a tour and explained a lot. Most of the money goes to support the local community, e.g. buying books for the school kids with the revenue of the guests. They even made a fire in the garden for our last dinner.

I rarely write reviews but I have to write this one. The Elephant Home is more of a project and experience, I was a bit surprised at the beginning because there is no hot shower and no electricity and wifi the whole day but this actually made our stay even more perfect. I felt more present and realized how privileged I am. The staff is AMAZING. SO SO KIND AND HELPFUL. They helped us with everything and always made sure we had everything. The food was nice, sometimes maybe a bit too salty for my taste but as I said, I really appreciated what they were doing for us. I wish them all the best. We also did the vanilla tour and coffee tour - loved both.

I stayed for a week at the Elephant Home. It's easy to reach from the Kikorongo crossing and close to the national park and equator. The place is very beautiful with a nice garden, common area, restaurant and comfortable+clean rooms. The staff is very kind and competent. It's chef is cooking amazing food! Since the place is run by the community of Kikorongo village you have the chance to visit the village, farming and reforestation activities. They recently started recycling and composting in the village and have a mechanical workshop station for the youth of the village. I found the community's engagement amazing! Definitely the best place to stay around Queen Elizabeth National Park.
