Ishasha Wilderness Camp is situated within the Southern Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park on the Ntungwe river, an idyllic retreat for people who truly enjoy the wild. This exclusive camp blends the magic of a wilderness tented camp with superb service in this unspoilt and remote region of the National Park. The Ishasha savannahs are famous for its population of tree climbing lions that can sometimes be spotted resting in the branches of the large fig trees. Being within the park the wildlife is free to also pass through the camp and elephants can be seen bathing in the river, buffalo enjoy grazing and resident troops of Black-and-White Colobus and vervet monkeys are frequently viewed.

I absolutely loved my stay at Ishasha Wilderness Camp – the only negative thing I have to say is that I only stayed for one night. I wish I could have stayed for longer. The staff were fantastic, very friendly, helpful and passionate about making a good impression on the guests.

My first bucket shower!. This camp is amazing. For being in the middle of nowhere, it’s perfect for game rides and close to what you are there for. The camp is clean, the food amazing, and the staff lovely!.
