Why We Like This Lodge

Eco-conscious: Nile Safari Lodge makes good use of its natural surroundings. Water from the Nile River is filtered into drinking water. Safari luxuries like private fridges are solar-powered, and the lodge was built using local wood and craftsmanship.

Minimally intrusive design: elegantly crafted with local stones, eucalyptus wood, grass-thatched roofs and an open-plan layout, this lodge seamlessly blends in with the scenery, without compromising comfort or aesthetics.

Superb location: situated within floating distance of Murchison Falls, Nile Safari Lodge is the perfect luxury base to explore the park.

Family run: If you are looking for accommodation with a personal touch and great attention to the little details, you don't need to look much further than Nile Safari Lodge.

Private plunge pool and seating area with a wonderful view.

Activities

Nile River Lodge is superbly located to explore everything Murchison Falls National Park has to offer.

Starting with an early morning wake-up call, head out on to a game drive before enjoying a picnic under the shade of an acacia tree - safaris in Murchison are the quintessential Africa experience.

For nature lovers, a short hike to the top of Murchison Falls, and a river cruise down the Nile is a fantastic way to experience the serenity and untamed beauty of the park.

Next, head into the Budongo Forest Reserve and trek through the thick forest undergrowth in search of chimps in their natural habitat.

Evening bike safaris are another popular activity around the lodge.
