Tabingi Safari Lodge
Cottages · Sector not established · Not named on the lodge's own site
Mid-range
Boundary unconfirmed
Owner/family-run
Tabingi is the one entry here whose sector could not be established, because its own site names the park and nothing more precise. Since Mweya, Kasenyi, Katwe, Katunguru, Kyambura and Ishasha can be hours apart, that gap matters more here than anywhere else on this page. Ask for a map pin before you book, and ask which gate you would be using.

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 Tabingi Safari Lodge
On request. No rates are published, and the site points to a booking page instead.
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.
Questions about Tabingi Safari Lodge
Where exactly is Tabingi Safari Lodge?
This cannot be established from the lodge's own site, which names only Queen Elizabeth National Park and nothing more precise, no sector, village or gate. Since the park's sectors can be hours apart, ask for a map pin and the nearest gate before you book, rather than assuming it sits near any one area.
How much does Tabingi Safari Lodge cost?
No rate is published on the site itself; it directs visitors to a separate booking page instead. Contact the lodge at info@tabingisafarilodge.com or +256 704 295232 and ask for a written quote, along with which sector of the park it is actually in.
Does Tabingi Safari Lodge offer airport transfers?
Yes, airport pickups and drop-offs are listed among its amenities, alongside free wifi, phone charging and self-contained cottages. Since the lodge does not state which sector it serves, confirm which airstrip or airport the transfer covers before you book one.
