Nile Safari Lodge

Nile Safari Lodge is an award-winning destination boasting several accolades including being voted as the Number 1 Most Sustainable Hotel in Uganda. This family-owned, eco-friendly lodge was established in 2017 with a long-term dream of creating and offering a unique experience in the Pearl of Africa. Nile Safari Lodge is a place where guests can ‘escape the ordinary.’

The lodge is perched over the mighty River Nile and there are endless opportunities for game viewing and discovering all that the Murchison Falls National Park has to offer. Nile Safari Lodge boasts 8 perfectly secluded luxury bandas, including a Family Villa. Each of these bands has been designed to provide you with a home away from home experience. The bandas are composed of a thatched roof, a spacious seating area, day bed, mosquito net, en-suite facilities boasting indoor and outdoor showers as well as a private viewing deck with comfortable swing and deck chairs. Your banda is your window onto some of the world’s more spectacular scenery.

The thrill of going on a game drive is difficult to top, so it is best to try and soak up the views from all the sharing spaces and sit back and take in the view, keep your binoculars handy as you never know what you’ll spot! Relax in the main building that features an open but snuggly lounge area with a fireplace, tea terrace, bar and restaurant. Enjoy a 24-metre long curving outdoor infinity pool, big enough for a leisurely swim or a refreshing dip. There are a number of things to do at Nile Safari Lodge such as boat cruises along the River Nile, or game drives in the comfort of a 4x4 safari vehicle. Whether you're seeking adventure or wellness treatments, Nile Safari Lodge is the perfect place to be.

About Murchison Falls National Park

Spanning an impressive 350,000 hectares, it will come as no surprise that Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda’s largest wildlife reserve – but that’s not all this veritable Eden has to offer. Four of the Big 5 roam about and sip at the edge of the Victoria Nile whose waters eventually burst through a narrow rock face in a potent torrent and drop down a steep cliff before reaching the bottom in a frothy fury. Welcome to Murchison Falls!

Along with Bugungu Wildlife Reserve and Karuma Wildlife Reserve, the park forms part of the greater Murchison Falls Conservation Area in north-west Uganda. Often known as the Kabalega Falls (after a great Bunyoro chief), delta cruises along papyrus-lined waterways are the highlight of the trip. Whether seen from the top of the falls or the Devil’s Cauldron, its intimidating base, Murchison Falls promises striking vistas from whichever vantage point.

The park’s 450 species of birdlife and plethora of wildlife (including the country’s largest population of crocodiles) can be spotted on hikes, cruises along the Victoria Nile, and game drives. Visitors can also enjoy cultural encounters with the local community and sports fishing.
