말라카이 에코 로지

This is a unique experience - lots of art, flowers, gardens, birds, monkeys and water in a very rural setting, just off the Entebbe - Kampala road. Janet, the owner with her husband Andreas, runs a tight ship, and service is very good. Thanks!

My 4 sons and I looked for a place to stay for our weekend experience in Entebbe to visit the Ngambe Island sanctuary. Malakai was more than a place to stay it was itself an experience that my sons and I will never forget, from the family cottage, the environment, the pool, the restaurant and the staff. Beautiful very original place lovingly cared for and serviced by family owners. We’ve already picked our next cottage for our next stay in Entebbe

It was amazing, the owners are very friendly lovely people who will do everything to make your stay special . All the cottages are so unique and for sure we will come back to book each of them . Thank you for the great time :-)

I had a great time at Malakai Eco Lodge, would definitely stay there again.

Our group of 5 arrived around 1 a.m. due to dealing with lost luggage claims at the airport. Although our arrival was 3 hours later than expected, the staff was gracious and accommodating with smiling faces. Breakfast was bountiful and delicious - and without cost. We wished we could have stayed longer!

When I fly out of Entebbe, I make a point of sleeping in Entebbe the night before, in order to avoid the horrible traffic jams on Entebbe Road. My usual hotel was not available. I found Malakai Eco lodge, which had good reviews and looked intriguing. As we followed the signs for the Lodge off of Entebbe Road, my friends and I grew increasingly alarmed. The "road" was a narrow dirt trail that wound through small African houses. When we finally arrived, however, we found a large compound and a tropical wonderland. We were thoroughly enchanted and wished we had arrived earlier in the day so we could enjoy it more (our flight was early in the morning.) After supper, we all retired early and discovered the place's drawback - an unbelievably loud cacophony of frogs. I was in a treehouse, and got a double dose - the pond frogs and the tree frogs. I was in the tree with them. I had to wear my sound-attenuating headphones to get to sleep.They stop around midnight, fortunately.

Amazing Garden Very cozy Very friendly staff

Malakai is truly an oasis in the bustling metropolis of Kampala/Entebbe. Stay here if you're looking for a peaceful, natural environment with some really unique and artistic architecture. Every room has a different theme -- I would highly recommend the "Pebble Room," it was our favorite. Although there is no air-conditioning, it's significantly cooler than surrounding areas due to it's location near water. The monkeys come out every evening to swing through the trees and eat bananas while you sip on a cold beer or have a bite to eat. You can swim in the pool, use the fitness center, play on the slackline or take a tour of a local island with the owner. Or you can just settle into one of the many cosy perches on the property and read a good book. The whole place has sort of an eco-African-Alice-in-Wonderland vibe to it. I would give this place two thumbs up for both hospitality and value.

Die einzelne Häuser mitten in dem liebevoll gepflegten Dschungel haben uns sehr beeindruckt. Die Fotos im Internet werden dem nicht gerecht. Die sehr offen und luftig eingerichteten Zimmer laden zum relaxen und wohlfühlen mitten in der Natur ein. Das Personal war sehr aufmerksam und überaus freundlich. Frühstück und Abendessen im Restaurant war ein traumhaftes Erlebnis an schön eingedeckten Tischen unter Palmen, Bananenpflanzen, am Bachlauf, blühenden Büschen....Wir fühlten uns in der Malakai Eco Logde wirklich wie im Urlaub und konnten uns trotz sehr heissen Tagen wundervoll erholen.

Ein idealer Ort um in unterschiedlichen sehr geräumigen Bungalows sich zuhause zu fühlen und viele unterschiedliche Bereiche auf dem Areal zum relaxen, sich zurückzuziehen, den Pool genießen oder auch im Restaurant die sehr gute Küche zu genießen! Vielen Dank, besonders an Sharon, Janet und Andreas!

My stay was amazing the overall experience was great I did have to extended from 2nights to 6nights it's really recommendable if is your first time in Africa this will be the test of Africa. My advice would be in terms of entertainment......

Excellent stay. We had two nights as the Final destination after our Safari, to relax and calm Down.

Budget kamer was prima maar niet zeer comfortabel; gedeelde wc had geen goed af te sluiten deur, douche zeer minimaal (geen hangertje voor kleren ed) Airport taxi kwam niet, wat vervelend was, na een nacht reizen Telefoonnr wat verkregen was via Expedia werd niet opgenomen ondanks herhaald bellen (ook vooraf)

Really lovely place, with excellent, friendly staff. The room (with a balcony overlooking a pond) was way cool - I'd recommend it to anyone. Pretty unforgettable room, really - reminded me of a place where Robinson Crusoe or Tarzan might live... (Small points: 1. On the evening that I left Uganda, I experienced diarrhoea - lasting for several days. The only food or drink that I had that day was breakfast at the hotel, including uncooked salad-type food like tomatoes and avocados, and lunch on Ethiopian Airlines. Impossible to say where I got the bug from, but, as a precaution, on my next trip I'll stay away from uncooked food/salads anywhere on my travels. 2. The hotel receptionists understated the travelling time by car from the hotel to Kampala. They said up to 30 mins in heavy traffic, so I booked the hotel, figuring this was an acceptable trade-off to get an exceptional room - I took 1.5 hours on a Friday morning and was late for a business meeting. Still, the driver was very helpful and did his best to help me get to my destination - maybe I just had bad luck that day...)

Glad staying there nice owners and staff . Looking forward for my next visit

Interesting place I have to say, built on a swamp and Greatly engineered into a complete functional resort with many amenities, owner and his family lives there too (Great Guy!) Only problem its abit out of the way, and the road to it is abit rough getting there.

I decided to take a short break at the end of a month in Uganda and chose Malakai Eco Lodge based on price and their free shuttle to the airport. I actually upgraded my room choice on arrival because the economy room that I booked was pretty basic. For a nominal extra charge I had a very spacious villa instead. The staff was very nice. Food was good in the restaurant. There's no local choices to go outside the hotel for meals. Though the place is really buried in the middle of a local neighborhood, it was secure and a veritable oasis.

Établissement superbe entre Kampala et Entebbe, une deuxième nuit pour profiter de l'établissement nous a manqué avant notre départ d'Ouganda. Magnifique pour se détendre après 15 jours de pistes.

Very relaxing. Lots of space to sit and walk around. Great facilities. Beautiful dining room. Delicious food. Excellent service. Highly recommended.

Arrived 01.30am, due to delays. Since descriptions says 24/7 airport transport, we did not consider this to be a problem. The HOTEL HAD SOLD OUR FAMILY ROOM TO SOMEONE ELSE and was fully booked. And up untill now they have not even had the courtesy of cancelling the booking and returning the money..at least
