An exceptional place to stay! Staying at Songbird was truly one of the highlights of our trip. The location, just outside Queen Elizabeth National Park, offers an incredible experience with wildlife roaming freely—elephants, buffaloes, waterbucks, and more. The owners, Hans and Goretti, go above and beyond to make you feel right at home, and their wonderful children, Nicole, Nicholas, and Noelle, add a warm and welcoming touch. The bungalows are charming and comfortable, providing a perfect retreat. The fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere for relaxing evenings, and the restaurant is a true delight, offering exceptional meals that left us feeling completely spoiled (and possibly a few kilos heavier). We wholeheartedly recommend staying at Songbird. For us, it was undoubtedly a standout highlight of our journey.

Amazing stay with the most wonderful warm welcoming hosts, very clean and comfortable rooms in a peaceful nature setting. Elephants, hippos, antelopes and warthogs all wandering just meters from my room, Lodge very conveniently located close to all QENP attractions and hosts very helpful in arranging activities, culinary team produced amazing huge meals and so kind and gracious with guests. Cannot recommend this lodge highly enough, look no further for your home in QENP, you will arrive as a guest and leave as family

Nothing, all fantastic

The owner is a lovely lady! So warm and welcoming. We felt really, really valued and appreciated. It felt like we were staying with family. All the food was delicious and tasted like home-cooked dishes. They anticipated our needs and beyond. For example, one evening they prepared a campfire for us without us even asking for one. It was incredible to sit around the fire, and hear the elephants trumpeting just outside of the property.

Really, there is nothing I would suggest.

Location is central for visiting Queen Elizabeth National Park. The staff and owners are super friendly, and the food is seriously incredible!! There were animals out and about at night on the property, including elephants and hippos. Shower had hot water, everything was very clean.

The units are right next to each other, in the pics they seemed like they might be more spread out. Overall a non-issue though, just more of an FYI.

Amazing place with great owners. Their main goal is to make you feel at home and they definitely will! Also, you don't need to go to a game drive after a few nights here – there are elephants, buffalos, antelopes, warthogs and sometimes even lions or hyenas coming to the lodge's doorstep. Highly recommended place, I will be so happy to come back! :-)

I don't know anywhere else where you can get a private room with en-suite bathroom INCLUDING full board (three gourmet meals a day) for the price you will pay here. The location is a about 1 km south of Katunguru, very close to the Queen Elizbath National Park entrance. Hennington and his wife are exceptionally kind and gracious hosts, who really take care of you. As you relax in the restaurant, keep an eye out for elephants, warthogs, waterbucks and other wildlife regularly making their way through the grounds of the site. I stayed here because someone I met in a hostel in Kigali told me it was wonderful. And now I'm telling you -- this is where you want to stay.

Actually nothing, The bungalows are a little small, so you will need to be efficient when you unpack your things. Bt I didn't find that a problem. I loved it here.

The location is ideal between multiple gates in the national park. The cottages are really nice and you feel very private overlooking at wildlife ( elephants, impalas , water buck). Hygiene is very well maintained en everything is clean. If it comes to the food and service it’s incredible.

This lodge just opened and the owner is trying to make everything spotless. He is still improving the facilities.

gorgeous lodges in a great location just outside the entrance to the Queen Elizabeth national park. our arrival party included elephants, kob and waterbuck. lots of animals just casually strolling by as you enjoy a beer or meal in the restaurant. the food was delicious, the staff were really friendly, and all very reasonably priced

Exceptional experience at songbird safari lodge. The location, where elephants walk close and even through (!) and where other animals can be seen in the garden at night, is totally awesome. Everybody there (Goritta, Anington, Mbabazi) is so helpful for any service, wishing to make all at the best. The accommodation and the meals (with great ceremonial from Mbabazi) are wonderful. More than highly recommended !

Super location on the opposite side of the main road to the majority of the other lodges. Elephants, waterbuck & warthogs passing by your room regularly. Delicious 3 course meals - beautifully presented with a choice main course. Friendly hosts and no pressure to book any activities which made a very pleasant change.
