Honey Bear Bush Camp

Honey Bear Bush Camp in an intimate little camp with a gorgeous setting on the southern bank of the Kazinga Channel, a broad waterway that connects Lake George with Lake Edward in Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth National Park. The camp is one of just two in Kyambura Wildlife Reserve and offers guests almost-private access to this beautiful wildlife habitat. The camp is named after Ava Gardner’s character in the 1953 film Mogambo, which was supposedly set in Uganda.

Accommodation & Facilities
Honey Bear has five classic Meru-style safari tents, with ensuite bathrooms, a flush loo, an outside bucket shower, and great views of the Kazinga Channel, where hippos and elephants are frequent visitors. The camp has a spacious mess tent with a dining table, a bar, and plenty of comfortable sofas. Honey Bear Bush Camp is an ideal retreat for safari enthusiasts, offering intimate immersion in the African bush, with a noisy dawn chorus and elephant and buffalo splashing in the water and lots of hippo serenading guests through the night.

Wildlife & Activities
Guests can enjoy spectacular views of the Kazinga Channel and the Rwenzori Mountains and the beautiful landscape of Kyambura Wildlife Reserve during walking safaris, motorboat and sailing dhow cruises, day and night wildlife drives, and chimp tracking in Kyambura Gorge. With private sundowners, close-up wildlife encounters, and opportunities for birding and community engagement, the camp is a wonderful base for exploring the varied habitats and landscapes of Queen Elizabeth. Lion, elephant, buffalo, hippo, crocodile, Uganda kob, defassa waterbuck, zebra and warthog are often seen, and the birdlife is also prolific. Boat cruises leave from the camp’s own private jetty. Guests also have the option of enjoying an outside bath with prior arrangement.
