Location

South bank of the Nile, Murchison Falls National Park. Read our Murchison Falls guide for the best time to visit and how to get there. See our Uganda guide for parks, seasons and getting there.

Getting there

The nearest town is Masindi; Paraa ferry crossing inside the park. Fly into Entebbe International (EBB), then road (5–6 hours) or charter to Pakuba or Bugungu airstrips. Nile Safari Lodge works well combined with 10 Days Uganda Waterfalls & Gorillas.

Things to do from Nile Safari Lodge

The lodge is upstream of Paraa on the south bank, a short drive from the ferry to the northern game circuits. The top of the falls is around 45 minutes to an hour by road, and the launch trip and the delta cruise leave from Paraa. Budongo Forest is reachable for a chimpanzee tracking day.

How long to stay

Three nights is ideal: a game drive, the launch trip and the top of the falls, with time to enjoy the river. Murchison Falls: Year-round flow; December–February and June–September for the driest game drives.
