    Overview

    Paraa Safari Lodge was established in 1954 and is located within the Murchison Falls National Park. Perfectly situated in the north-western region of Uganda overlooking one of nature’s best-kept secrets, the River Nile. The river journeys from its source at Lake Victoria to join Lake Albert – here it is suddenly channelled into a gorge only six meters wide and cascades 43 meters below.

    The earth literally trembles at Murchison Falls - one of the world's most powerful flows of natural water. Paraa Safari Lodge offers a unique blend of comfort, relaxation and adventure. Each of the rooms is a haven of style and serenity, complete with a balcony and private bathroom.

    The lodge is set in an area of landscaped gardens, the lodge recreates a mood that has become associated with famous explorers of East Africa. Paraa Safari Lodge offers a choice of fine dining throughout one’s stay, and the Explorer’s bar is the ideal watering hole after a day of wildlife discovery in Murchison Falls National Park.

    The cuisine is a culinary adventure! Select items from a mouth-watering menu of local and international specialities produced by experienced chefs. The Captain’s Table restaurant is located on the upper floor of the main area. Guests have the choice to eat inside or outside on the balcony, which boasts a sweeping view of the natural surrounds.

    The wildlife biodiversity in Murchison Falls National Park contains the most astonishing number of species – 76 types of mammals and 451 different birds. The River Nile, on its journey from Murchison Falls, attracts a whole host of different wildlife such as crocodiles, hippos and water birds. Other animals include lions, warthogs, buffalo, rare aquatic sitatunga antelope, giant forest hog, Uganda kob, topi, waterbuck, elephant and leopard. Mammal species – 76, Birdspecies – 451. The national park plays host to many unique attractions and adventures.

    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 crocodile) 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. Accommodation options in the park include campsites, lodges, hotels, and guesthouses.

    Why We Love It
    • Murchison Falls pours over the fading escarpment at the northernmost tip of Africa’s Western Rift Valley, a 3000km tectonic trench that has opened up between Lake Malawi and northern Uganda during the last twelve million years
    • Paraa Lodge is uniquely situated in the Murchison Falls National Park
    • There are an array of fun and exciting activities to keep everyone entertained
    • This area is rich in culture and offers a great experience
    • During the 1960s, the park contained an abundance of wildlife including 14,000 elephants, 26,000 buffalos and 14,000 hippos. However, these huge numbers caused great environmental damage. Though today’s wildlife population is far smaller, their population density is more in balance with the limited amount of parkland available to them.
