Murchison River Lodge

Top choice in Uganda


While firmly in the luxury category, Murchison River opens its doors to all budgets, whether you're here to pitch a tent, do some lazy camping or live it up in its lavish two-storey thatched cottages. Grounds are quite spread out. The safari-style open-air restaurant has good food and superb views of the Victoria Nile with elephants in the distance.

The top-notch shower block for campers is modern, clean and roomy for changing. Except for basic camping, prices include full board. However, campers can use the pool, making it a popular choice.
