Uganda's premier Tented Wilderness Camp

A one of a kind tented experience in Queen Elizabeth National Park

Set in the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains on the boundary of Queen Elizabeth National Park, our camp offers a truly private safari experience. Each exclusive tented camp is well spaced to ensure seclusion, surrounded by wilderness yet designed with every modern comfort. Here, you can immerse yourself in nature, take in sweeping views of the mountains and savannah, and enjoy the safari spirit without sparing any luxury.

Stay in a private wilderness tented camp

Little Elephant Camp offers guests exclusive, private tented camps designed for couples, families, and small groups.

Each camp provides complete privacy, featuring an en-suite sleeping tent, a dining/mess tent with a fully equipped kitchen and lounge area, solar lighting, USB charging, an outdoor BBQ/grill, and a campfire. Our hospitality staff will assist you with lighting the grill and campfire at your preferred times.

The dining and kitchen tents are thoughtfully designed for convenience and comfort, with a 130-litre chest-style fridge, gas stove-top, and ample space for meal preparation.

Relaxation is effortless with a daybed and classic canvas safari chairs in the lounge area. Sleeping tents are outfitted with comfortable beds, quality linens, and pillows for a restful night. En-suite bathrooms include a flushing toilet, sink, and an outdoor “stargazer” shower with hot water. Each camp has a spacious private parking area for guests.

Your stay creates change

Little Elephant Camp has always been about more than just a place to stay. We are proud to be a social enterprise, dedicated to supporting our neighbors in the nearby community of Muhokya. All our employees come from this community, and many of them are young people who are gaining their very first work experience here. Through jobs and hands on training, we’re helping them build skills, grow in confidence, and create brighter futures, for themselves, their families, and for the community. Little Elephant Camp is as much about giving back as it is about welcoming travelers.

Queen Elizabeth National Park

Queen Elizabeth National Park is located in western Uganda. The 1,978 km² protected area is rich in biodiversity and home for over 95 species of mammals, more than any other park in Uganda. The park also boasts a prolific number of bird species, 612 in total. Queen Elizabeth lies on the floor of Africa's Western Rift Valley and stretches from the base of the towering Rwenzori Mountains in the north to the Ishasha River in the south and is bordered on the west by the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Virunga Mountains. The proximity of Queen Elizabeth National Park to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and Kibale National Park makes it an ideal stopover in between trekking Uganda's primates. Queen Elizabeth National Park is also a convenient weekend away spot from Kampala and Kigali. Queen Elizabeth National Park is truly unrivaled in beauty and has so much to offer its visitors.
