Elephant Plains is a luxury lodge located on the most spectacular viewpoint in the whole of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Perched 941 m above sea level, high upon the western escarpment of the Albertine Rift in the northeast of the park, the lodge offers panoramic views stretching for miles over the huge open grasslands to Lake George. Set in 80 acres of pristine wilderness, a short drive from the park gate, nowhere else here can you sleep closer to the equator (N*S 0.0, 25.172), with views of the equator monument visible from all around the lodge. Nestled next to beautiful Lake Kikorongo, this is where the open plains merge into the crystal waters and large numbers of elephants come to drink, hence the lodge’s name.
