Murchison River Lodge provides comfortable and clean mid-range accommodation in a beautiful location by the River Nile overlooking Uganda's largest national park, Murchison Falls.

Murchison River Lodge is a creation of wild ideas dreamed and designed by couple, Chris and Georgie, whilst travelling across Africa, the Middle East and around India.

The whole lodge runs completely off solar and accommodation varies from en-suite thatched cottages to en-suite thatched safari tents with USB ports located in each, plus extra charging facilities are in the bar and pool lounge.

The full board price at Murchison River Lodge includes all meals and complimentary afternoon tea & coffee. A swimming pool, free WiFi in the pool lounge, warm hospitality and easy national park access from the south bank to the north bank (due to a recently constructed bridge across the Nile) make for an easy stay.

The lodge was built with the intention of appealing to travellers far and wide and to accommodate everyone, no matter their budget, and we hope we’ve achieved this.

As a family we also know how important it is to be able to take a trip and have your kids catered and cared for too, something we appreciate after having children of our own.

The majority of the men and women who work with us are from the local area and most have been a part of Murchison River Lodge since the beginning.

The staff give the lodge it’s true essence; vibrant, welcoming and authentic, with each and every member being an integral part of your stay.

Being located in the bush has its advantages, but also its challenges and needless to say power has been one of them.

Mains electricity is currently over 30kms away, but over the course of the last few years we’ve risen to the occasion and can proudly confirm the lodge runs off solar, 100%.

Murchison River Lodge chose to limit WIFI to the pool lounge, because guests enjoying the restaurant would rather not be disturbed by people using the lodge as an extension to their office.

If possible, try and unplug from your screen, there’s so much to see in the present and we promise you won’t be disappointed.

The lodge is located in a malaria risk area and we recommend that you adhere to the advice of your doctor regarding prophylactics.

Ensure you bring enough prescription medication.

Insect repellent (spray) and other personal essentials are available at reception.

The Ugandan climate is tropical and generally rainy with two dry seasons (December to February, June to August). It is semi-arid in the northeast and the evenings are mostly warm.

The staff of the hotel will order a transfer for you. At the guests’ disposal, there’s also a laundry, dry cleaning, press and a concierge.

Wild animals are often seen on site, and in the evenings Murchison River Lodge provides an escort from the restaurant to your accommodation to help navigate any hippos on the paths.

Smaller bugs and insects may be found in your room, but they too are part of Africa’s diverse ecosystem and should not be feared. As a gentle reminder, credit card payments are not accepted due to the excessive banking fees within Uganda.
