Enjojo Lodge

Welcome to Enjojo Lodge, a hidden gem in a magnificent African wilderness! The birth of a baby elephant on the land during the construction of the lodge led to the name ‘Enjojo Lodge’, which means ‘elephant’ in the local Rukiga language. Bordering the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, we offer a relaxed and comfortable retreat on 40 hectares of land in the middle of an acacia forest, scattered grassland, and lush vegetation with palm trees. From the grass-thatched restaurant and bar, you can enjoy our homemade food from our own organic garden while viewing the scenic beauty of a small natural lake. Big herds of elephants, buffaloes and antelopes are regular visitors to the lodge while vervet monkeys, baboons and black and white colobus have become residents. Not to forget the abundant birdlife, which makes Enjojo a dream environment for birders! The lodge is entirely solar powered and constructed with local materials to blend in with the surrounding environment. Most of the furniture and decoration have been hand-crafted by the local community.
