The Observatory is perched on top of the Kichwamba escarpment and overlooks Queen Elizabeth National Park. Enjoy uninterrupted views of Lake Edward, Lake George, the Kazinga Channel and Lake Nyamusingire. In good weather, you can view the Rwenzori Mountains too - all without having to pay park entry fees. The Observatory is a self-catering holiday home. Whether you’re travelling on your own or in a group of ten (maximum), the entire cottage, splash pool, sauna, hot tub and barbecue area are available for your exclusive hire at a very affordable rate. The Observatory now has a second house for rent. Both buildings are privately situated with some of the best views of Queen Elizabeth National Park.

The Observatory has been created to put nature first. This is reflected in the architecture and the seamless way in which nature and design coexist.
