Ishasha Wilderness Camp

Ishasha Wilderness Camp is situated inside the Southern Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park on the Ntungwe river, and is an idyllic retreat for people who truly enjoy the wilderness. This exclusive camp offers quality accommodation and services in this unspoilt remote southern sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park which is famous for its tree-climbing lions that can sometimes be spotted resting in the branches of the area’s large fig trees.

Each of the ten spacious framed canvas rooms, situated in the wooded area besides the river, is comfortably furnished. Decorated with large mosquito netted beds, they all come with their own private en-suite bathroom and dressing area, providing running water, hot water ‘bush’ showers and a flushing eco-friendly toilet. There’s no better way to end a day here than under the trees next to the river, where you can enjoy freshly prepared meals which utilise many local ingredients, as well as relax around the evening ‘fireplace’ for sundowners and a chance to share the day’s experience.

As the camp is within the national park, it has been designed with as little impact as possible, with low usage of water, power and other resources. Solar power is used for lighting, with power points limited to a central area allocated for recharging cameras and videos.
