Budget
Boundary unconfirmed
Park-run (UWA)
Kabatoro Guest House sits in the Katwe enclave right beside the main gate, a few minutes from the Mweya turning. The owner never says which side of the boundary the plot falls on, which matters here because the enclave is ringed by park. There is no website and no email address, so booking is by telephone.
Pros and cons

- Open 24 hours a day, by the owner's own account
Cons

- No rate has ever been published by the owner
- No child policy, capacity figure or facility list found
What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Queen Elizabeth National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryCharged per 24 hours rather than per night.
- $40per person, per day
- VehicleA Ugandan-registered 4x4, the usual hire car, at UGX 30,000; a foreign-registered 4x4 pays $150.
- $8per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $264 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
Entry is sold in 24-hour blocks that begin when you pass the gate, so a trip that starts at midday and ends at 16:00 two days later is charged as three days, not two.
The full fee schedule for Queen Elizabeth National ParkRates at Kabatoro Guest House
On request. No rate has ever been published in the owner's own material. The old address kabatoro-hostel-and-tourist-camp.business.site disappeared when Google shut down the business.site platform in 2024, so there is no page left to check. Booking is by telephone on 0704 898146, which also takes WhatsApp, or 0772 415571.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We do not know yet whether meals, drinks and activities are included, so read this as the bed only.
Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Indicative 2026 rates, read in September 2026 from each property's own website, rate card or factsheet. Twenty-three of the forty-two publish a rack rate of their own. The other nineteen say on request, and no agent or tour operator figure has been used to fill a gap. Watch the basis, because it decides whether two numbers can be compared at all: some quote per person per night sharing, others per room, per tent or per cottage, and meals sit inside some rates and outside others. Park entry is extra almost everywhere at $40 per foreign non-resident adult per 24 hours, plus the vehicle, and the Kazinga Channel cruise is $30 on top.
Something this page does not answer?
This camp does not publish a rate, so the only way to a real number is to ask them or us.
This one is run by the park authority or its concessionaire, so the booking goes to them and not through anyone else. We are happy to help you work out whether it fits your route, which month suits it and what else sits near it.
Nothing on this site sits behind the form. Every figure we have is already on the page.
Questions about Kabatoro Guest House
How do you book Kabatoro Guest House?
By telephone only. Call 0704 898146, which also takes WhatsApp messages, or 0772 415571. There is no website or email address, and the guest house's old online listing disappeared when Google shut down its business.site platform in 2024, so phone is the only confirmed way to reach it.
How much does Kabatoro Guest House cost?
No rate has ever been published in the owner's own material, so there is no figure to quote here. Call 0704 898146 or 0772 415571 and ask for a current price for a hostel bed, a room or a camping pitch before you travel.
Is Kabatoro Guest House inside Queen Elizabeth National Park?
The owner never says. It states only that the guest house stands next to the main gate at Kabatoro, in the Katwe enclave, which is ringed by park land without confirming which side of the line the plot itself falls on. Ask about park entry fees when you call to book.
Is Kabatoro Guest House good for families?
We found no child policy, capacity figure or room configuration published by the owner, so this cannot be confirmed either way. Call 0704 898146 or 0772 415571 and ask directly about family options, since the guest house offers hostel beds, rooms and camping without further detail.
