Uniquely positioned, Kubu Lodge is right on the water’s edge. As our guest you will be treated to occasional hippos grazing and grunting during the night and playing in the water during the day. You can also catch a glimpse of the elephants who are known to leisurely pass by and cross the water, close to the lodge, where you can watch them from your viewing deck. End your evening, on the deck, enjoying beautiful star gazing at night with fireflies at the water’s edge. Kubu Lodge derives its name from the hippos residing in the dam right in front of the lodge.
