Enanga gave no more detail on the suspected causes of the explosion.
The initial toll was confirmed by a manager of Swift Safaris.
Lungala is about 35 kilometres (22 miles) west of Kampala, on one of the country's busiest roads, linkingUgandawith Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The blast follows a deadly explosion that killed one person and injured three at a roadside eatery in the capital Kampala on Saturday, which police called an "act of domestic terror" and for which the Islamic State group claimed responsibility.
