Leopard Rest Camp is an eco-friendly, budget accommodation located one kilometer outside the Nshara entrance gate. It welcomes groups of all sizes and has a large space for overland campers, attracting many visitors from around the world.
The camp is not far from Kampala or Entebbe, but make sure you enter Uganda legally. If not, you could face deportation or prison. That is why it is best to book with a trusted and experienced tour company.
Leopard Rest Camp offers many activities inside Lake Mburo National Park. These include bird-watching, nature walks, game drives, and cycling. You can also enjoy watching animals from the lodge’s restaurant while having a cold drink and a good meal prepared by experienced chefs. This makes your stay both enjoyable and comfortable.
There are several types of accommodation at the camp. One of them is bush camping, where guests camp in the bush with a guide. You must stay near your guide, as the wild can be dangerous if you are alone.
You need to bring your own tent because the lodge does not provide one, but it does offer clean shared showers and toilets. There is a restaurant nearby where you can get meals, and a kitchen is also available for guests who want to cook their own food.
Another option is lazy camping. This allows you to sleep off the ground in tents raised on concrete platforms, protected by grass-thatched roofs. These tents have comfortable beds made from local materials and access to shared showers and toilets.
The camp also has safari tents with private outdoor showers and decks where you can relax and enjoy the sunset. These tents are available as single, double, twin, or triple, making them suitable for families or groups.
Lastly, Leopard Rest Camp has luxury safari tents built on raised wooden floors with wide verandas that give you views of the valley. These tents are self-contained with outdoor showers and toilets to make your stay comfortable.
The camp has a bar, a dining area, and good spots for watching the sunset, making your stay at Leopard Rest Camp peaceful and enjoyable.
