Think of the classic Kasenyi Safari Camp if you are planning a trip to Queen Elizabeth National Park and yearning to spend nights surrounded by the wilderness. The camp is set along the edge of Lake Bunyampaka within the northern Kasenyi plains of Queen Elizabeth National Park.
This beautiful safari camp has a grass-thatched and raised dining area offering guests beautiful views of the Kasenyi plains, which are dotted with different wildlife species. Accommodation is provided in tents with thatched canopy roofs, which are beautifully elevated from the ground. This is important to keep animals from intruding, owing to the fact that the area is always visited by lots of wildlife species.
