Mweya Lodge, Queen Elizabeth Nat'l Park

Feb 6 and 7
Mweya Lodge, Queen Elizabeth National Park

On our first day we took the 2-hour Kazinga Channel boat trip. The shores were teaming with animals! There were water buffalo, elephants, hippos, monkeys, crocodiles, many birds, kob… The next morning we were booked for a game drive, but I felt unwell so the other three went. The drive lasted over 3 hours and they saw a variety of animals including some lions--one of which almost had Riaan for a late breakfast! Before dinner that evening they went for a game walk whilst I stayed behind for a one-hour massage and a dip in the pool. Lovely!

Accommodation:
The rooms were fine and spacious, not spectacular, but that’s okay. The king-sized beds were very comfortable, the room clean and great service. The pool which overlooks Lakes Edward and George is refreshing and relaxing.


The location makes this lodge worth every penny. There are many places to relax and the lodge is on a hill overlooking Lakes Edward and George. Service is A-1.


Meals:
OMG!! A definite 5 star!

We enjoyed many superb meals on this trip but my personal favourite was the dinner that included stuffed avocado, tomato basil soup, melt-in-your-mouth fillet steak on a bed of slivered potatoes and veg, and chocolate mousse.
