Stay right on the equator.
Very nice accommodation right on the equator. Close to the town of Kasese and near Queen Elizabeth National Park, also close to the equatorial monument. Spacious room, spacious bathroom, and dining options available.
Very low water preasure in bathroom.

Disappointing Stay During Low Season
Overall the experience was lacking, so will list a few good things. The accomodation had two beds with mosquito netting, bathroom with open shower, and had a covered deck with breakfast table and lounge chair. A standing fan was provided in the room. The chefs seemed professional, made an excellent banana flambe for dessert. The grounds are pretty and the wall keeps out predators (saw a hyena a few miles down the road). It is a 20-minute drive to the Kasenyi entrance of Queen Elizabeth.
Quite a few negatives: -Had to open the gate for our own car, no one came to the gate -No hot water -Housing design allows for mosquitos to get in between walls and roof - mosquitos are common in this area, though -Checkin staff was short at best, rude at worst to my driver while on the phone -Given a two-wing chicken wing, potatos, and greens dinner since we arrived later at 8 PM - we were told dinner would be simplified due to late arrival. $25 USD! -WiFi was weak then stopped working 30 minutes after arrival -Mold, or at least dirt, appeared on the pillows and sheets of one of the beds -Had to fix the toilet to get water flowing I do not excuse this experience, but can only think they don't get many guests in December and bring in staff only when someone books. Dinner is usually around 7 PM, meaning an 8 PM arrival has everyone staying late. No excuse given the cost and higher-end appearance of the place, and I hope the conditions are better when the place is more busy.

Exceptional
Out stay at Wild Tracks couldn’t have been any better. The manager and staff have been super friendly and helpful with planing and organizing tours and activities in and around the national parks. The cleanliness and love for details makes the Camp a beautiful resort. Last but definitely not least, lunch and dinner have been really good.

Nice camp but expensive food
nice dorms in a nice location and friendly staff
for a budget option the food was very expensive. The breakfast was very basic for what we paid

An incredible welcome, comfortable base and great location.
Firstly, the staff at the property could not have done more to take better care of us during our stay. Alfred, the manager, assisted us with directions to the hotel, bookings in the park and supported us in repairing our rental car. He went above expectation for us and we couldn’t have been more grateful. Albright in the bar/restaurant was attentive and kind. Steven, the chef, prepared great meals for us on demand - the packed breakfasts for early morning drives were exceptional. The location of the property is a perfect base for the QENP. Around 5 minutes from the equator and the crater lake drive and around 10 minutes to the nearest park drive entrance. The room was comfortable, the shower was hot and we’re grateful for the hospitality.
There’s nothing we didn’t like but some things for those booking in further to be mindful of: - the property is accessed by a very bumpy road. 4x4s are essential - cancellations of bookings have a huge impact on small properties such as this one when done last minute. All food is bought freshly for each arrival etc. and the hosts were explaining that they were never sure if guests would turn up or not.

Very good safari camp with excellent staff!
The manager was very kind, arranged safari’s and lunches/dinners for us. They upgraded us to a very nice cabin.
The location is incorrect on google maps and booking, triple check because it was a 2 hour detour!! Camp was completely empty except for us.
