Perfect stay to relax and enjoy local wildlife
It was a lovely experience staying at Engiri. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Our room was simple but spacious with a terrace to sit on. The food catered for us as vegetarian and was all freshly prepared and delicious. The outdoor seating in the restaurant was a nice place to dine. The staff is so friendly and attentive. It was great to see the occasional elephant on site. The lodge arranged our boat safari on Kazinga Channel which was a fantastic experience and so economical. Other activities like game drives are available at very reasonable prices.
The Marketing Manager at Engiri deserves special mention for arranging private transport for us to reach the Lodge and for onward travel.
Highly recommended.

We paid for the largest room that had a king bed and two twin beds; we specifically booked this room because we wanted room for us as a couple and our son. Oddly, our son didn’t show up on our reservation so I called and emailed in advance and was assured he was included on our reservation, both when I called and also when I emailed. (My email was not returned within the day so that’s why I called - I received an email reply via Expedia a couple days later with the same response.) When we checked in we were given a small room with a queen bed, and a toilet that had trouble flushing and a shower that leaked water everywhere requiring us to use one of the two towels given us to dry the floor. When we asked about the room size and what we had reserved we were told we would not be given a refund and needed to contact Expedia. They said they give rooms based on number of occupants (though on Expedia the price is based NOT on occupancy but based on room size.) We travelled with another family who had the exact same experience - their children were dropped from the booking and they were given a small room despite paying for and reserving a larger room.
The staff were friendly and the location was nice - with signs of hippos and elephants close to the cottages - but we wouldn’t return due to the issue with our reservation. If you book via Expedia call in advance to confirm your booking - otherwise you may not get what you paid for and be left without anything to do about it.

Information about the area
Kazinga Channel, UgandaThe Kazinga Channel in Uganda is a wide, 32-kilometre (20 mi) long natural channel that links Lake Edward and Lake George, and a dominant feature of Queen Elizabeth National Park. The channel attracts a varied range of animals and birds, with one of the world's largest concentration of hippos and numerous Nile crocodiles.
Lake George is a small lake with an average depth of only 2.4 metres (7.9 ft) and which is fed by streams from the Rwenzori mountains. Its outflow is through the Kazinga Channel which drains into Lake Edward, water levels fluctuating very little.
In 2005, large numbers of hippos were killed in the channel as a result of an anthrax outbreak, which occurs when animals eat remnants of vegetation in the driest months, absorbing bacterial spores that can live for decades in dry soil.
The channel is described as a popular wildlife tourism area
