I got the chance to eat at this restaurant as my husband and I were traveling for some time to ourselves for once. I was a little skeptical at the beginning because I never had tried any “exotic” meats before. I have always been a chicken and beef woman, but I was so ready to try something new! But my... More

i really like this place, its location, atmosphere, cuisine. It is not the chepest dining option in Kampala, but it worth. You can enjoy game here - although nothing extraordinary special, but the first experience to eat e.g. crocodile for most of us.

Friendly and professional staff, amazing alternatives on the menu (everything from crocodile to impala) and beautiful surroundings. Reasonable prices. Thank you The Lawns for giving us such a nice evening in Kampala. We will definitely recommend you to our friends and families.
