The ishasha ntungwe river camp is found within Queen Elizabeth national park and offers affordable and budget-friendly with self-contained accommodations plus hot water. The camp has accommodation units of two types that is two raised tents that are perched along ntungwe river and five luxury tents that are far from the riverside. All tents offer breathtaking views of the ntungwe river from their balcony. Tea or coffee is served in the morning as the tourists enjoy the amazing plains of the Ishasha plains.
The location of the camp is an advantage it being near the ishasha gaming tracks mostly in the evenings as tourists relax on the balcony as well as night times with the chattering birds that are found on the river banks as well as monkey cries and elephant sound as they move around within the community.
The lodge has two dinning parts that is next to the reception and the other at the river bank. The dining next to the river bank is rarely used as the place is always flooded with water and muddy during the rainy seasons. The Ishasha ntungwe river camp is also situated next to the elephant trails where tourists can have an amazing view of the ntungwe riverine forest canopy as well as wildlife species.
The restaurant gives appetizing foods both local and international cuisine that are prepared by the skilled chefs where every meal is comes with starters and after the meal it ends with desert. There’s a swimming pool where tourists can relax after a very hot safari day. There’s a well-stocked bar that provides both soft and hard drinks depending on the choice of the guest.

While at the ishasha ntungwe river camp tourists can take a game drive to Queen Elizabeth national park gate that is just 3 kilometers from the camp. The tourists will be able to spot the majestic tree climbing lions with their unique feature of the manes on the males. The reason attached to their climbing of trees is attributed to the ground heat as well as running away from the tsetse flies and other insects on the ground.
Besides the tree climbing lions, tourists can have extraordinary views of various animals that are found in the ishasha plains such as elephants, hyenas, antelopes such as Topi and kob, buffaloes, warthogs among others. Besides the amazing game drives the tourists can start their safari from their tents and most especially those that are interested in bird watching. Tourists tend to wake up at the singing birds as well as watching them from a distance within the national park. Birds such as turacos, sun lovers, fish eagle, grey capped warblers and many more are found within the camp.
