Honey Bear Bushcamp

Honey Bear Bushcamp is a budget lodge in Uganda, situated in the Ishasha area of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Honey Bear Bushcamp is a Wildplaces Africa property in the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Wildplaces Africa also operates Apoka Safari Lodge in Kidepo and Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge in Bwindi, though Honey Bear sits at the opposite end of the pricing spectrum — this is a bush camp experience rather than a luxury lodge. The Ishasha sector is best known for its tree-climbing lions, which are regularly spotted resting in fig trees along the river plains.

The camp provides basic accommodation suited to budget-conscious travelers who want to explore the Ishasha sector without the high costs of the area's premium tented camps. Facilities are simple and in keeping with the bush camp concept — the emphasis is on being in the right location for wildlife rather than on room amenities.

The Ishasha sector is in the southern part of Queen Elizabeth National Park, separated from the main Mweya/Kasenyi areas by a long drive. It is typically visited as part of an itinerary that connects Queen Elizabeth with Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Game drives in the sector focus on the fig tree plains where the lions are found, as well as general savannah wildlife along the Ishasha River.
