Lulimbi Tented Camp

The tented main area sits right on the river, and is the main meeting point for sunset-viewing and hippo-watching. If you’re lucky, you’ll see elephants wading in the water, crossing freely between Uganda and the DRC. Food is simple, but hot and tasty, and the utterly charming staff more than make up for any, er, slightly strange options you might find on your plate!

The eight tents at Lulimbi are all perched along the river, and each one is simple but super cosy. This isn’t a camp for luxuries, but you'll find everything you need, including a hot shower, flushing loo and some super comfy beds. There’s a couple of stylish touches in there too, with pretty headboards covered in brightly coloured Congolese fabrics. Outside, the shaded veranda is the perfect spot to watch the comings and goings at the river.

Just like any classic safari camp, Lulimbi’s days are full of early morning walks to nearby Lake Edward, followed by bush breakfasts under the trees, and meandering game drives. Expect to see buffalo, warthog, elephant, Ugandan kob, topi and a variety of feathered wildlife too. We’ve also heard rumours recently of several excellent lion sightings, so keep those binos with you at all times…
