Nearby Attractions and Things to Do while staying at Murchison Backpackers Masindi

If you fancy something a little different, fishing for Nile perch is a popular activity with guests who stay here, or you can go trekking to see the chimpanzees in the Budongo Forest Reserve, which is only a 45 min drive away.

Early morning game drives are highly recommended with their resident UWA guide, who is a great storyteller and very knowledgeable on the park's wildlife.

As the largest protected area in Uganda, Murchison Falls National Park attracts thousands of tourists every year for wildlife Safaris in Uganda.

Top of the falls Murchison Backpackers

This historic site can only be reached from the South Bank and is a 15-20 minute drive from Sambiya River Lodge. Lion, Cape buffalo, elephant, Uganda kob, wart hogs, hyena, and waterbuck have all been seen on this road as well as numerous birds! The dramatic waterfalls plunge 45 metres through a narrow 6 metre canyon of boulders.

Visitors can understand why the Falls were traditionally called “PAJOO! meaning home of the spirits. Once there, they will understand why in 1907 Winston Churchill walked from Masindi town to view the Falls, completing the last three days of his hike in a beekeeper’s veil & gloves to protect him from tsetse flies.

It is one of the views that led him to declare Uganda as “the Pearl of Africa? From the top of the Falls there are fantastic vantage points that the Falls can be viewed from and photographed. Rock pranticoles, go away birds, African harriers, white headed turacos, and palm nut vultures have all been sighted at the top of Murchison Falls.

Nature Walk Murchison Backpackers

Sambiya has a resident UWA ranger guide who is happy to take guests out on walking safaris. Guides are knowledgeable concerning flora and fauna of the area. It is best to make arrangements 24 hours in advance to avoid disappointment.

Early morning and later afternoon walks are cooler and more comfortable. Guests can experience, feel and see the vastness of Africa as the early explorers did Lion, buffalo, kob, waterbuck, wart hogs, colobus monkeys, baboons and numerous bird species are just some of the wildlife that have been seen in the past.

Boat cruise To The Bottom Of The Falls

A number of boats provide cruises up and down the Nile. One trip offered is from the landing at Parra (approximately 25 minute drive from the Lodge depending on good road/weather conditions) traveling up the River Nile to the base of the renowned Falls.

The Uganda Wildlife (UWA) boats usually start their trips at 9am and 2pm. There is an abundance of hippos, crocodile, Cape buffalo, elephant and numerous species of birds to be seen, including the rare shoebill stork if one is lucky

Visitors can get off the boat and hike up to the top of the Falls for a $15 fee payable to the Park authorities.
