The lodge is situated in the Queen Elizabeth National Park. The Park overlooks the water of the leisurely Kazinga Channel which flows into two natural lakes, Lake George and Lake Edward. Originally known as Kazinga National Park it was renamed in 1954 after Queen Elizabeth II. The Park has 619 species of birds, the second highest number recorded in Africa and the sixth highest in the world. It is also home to ninety-five species of mammals, more than any other park in Uganda, and includes elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, waterbuck, bushbuck, giant forest hog, and warthog. On the eastern side of the park, in the dramatic Kyambura Gorge live chimpanzees, red-tailed monkey, black-and-white colobus, baboons, and vervet monkeys.

Early morning and afternoon game drives explore the park in search of wildlife in comfortable 4×4 vehicles and with the expertise of a guide and tracker. Guided birding and wildlife walks explore the area in more detail. River cruises are available on the Kazinga Chanel which bisects the park for an excellent chances of spotting elephants on the river-bank, hippos in the water, and a plethora of water-birds. With a Wildlife Authority ranger, there are chimpanzee treks in Kyambura Gorge. There are day trips to Katwe Explosion Crater with its saline lake, it attracts large flocks of flamingos. Other activities include community visits and sundowners.

Breathtaking views abound in the main lodge, including opportunities to view the forest hogs and hippos that occasionally wander directly onto the property. The dining area serves only the highest-quality cuisine, mixing continental, international, and Indian influences. The infinity pool and on-site Mweya Health Club and Spa offer workout space and a relaxing end to an exciting day on safari.
