Opinions MURCHISON RIVER LODGE Murchison Falls National Park

Wunderschöne Anlage direkt am Nil und mitten in der Natur.

Really great location right on the banks of the Nile. The way there is definitely long and difficult, but it's worth it.

The house tents are all separated from each other, it is really very quiet. The bathroom is open, so it's possible that your toothbrush is no longer where it was when you return from the game drive. Because of the wild animals, you are picked up from the tent in the dark and brought back again.

The pool area invites you to linger, where, like in the restaurant, there is also WiFi and options for charging cameras and telephones. The dining area is open and dinner and breakfast are delicious. In the evening there is always a menu, one with meat and one vegetarian.

We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back!

The rooms are gorgeous (two levels each with netted bed and each with a fan).
Some of the best food we had at any of the lodges we stayed in.
Excellent location just outside the park.
Great pool to relax in.

This place feels like the garden of Eden. Butterflies join you as you walk around the beautifully designed grounds. Everything is thought through and works brilliant. I cannot comment enough on Stephen the manger, he was a fountain of knowledge and never failed to make us chuckle and feel welcome! We set off here for our long distance cycle to Dar Es Sallam and I cannot think of any location that would have given us the relaxing experience required before such an expedition

We had a fantastic stay here- the setting is beautiful, the pool is a real treat, the food was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. We loved being on the river, hearing the hippos at night and being close to the park for the animal viewing. Would highly recommend.

Advantages:
- Murchison River Lodge is located on the Nile river, very close to the park's entrance. The garden and the views from the riverside tents, the bar and dining area, the observation tower and the pool are absolutely stunning and unforgettable. (Who would ever forget the wonderful show of having a hippo grazing at night just outside one's tent?)
- The hotel is very well designed and decorated. I loved the dining area and the pool area in particular.
- The tents by the river were very comfortable, well equipped and cozy. They even had hot shower, amazingly large mosquito nets, and bedside lamps and plugs. (One small detail though: I would have loved to get some shampoo in the bathroom, in addition to shower gel.)
- Most of the staff were kind and helpful.

Disadvantages:
- The meals we had as part of the full board package rarely filled us. We were very often still hungry after lunch especially, given the tiny wraps or the very small quantities of salad provided to us for instance. And yet, every time we asked the staff for a bit more bread, a bit more salad, a few more slices of tomatoes, etc. we got the impression that we were asking for the moon...
- WiFi is only available by the pool, which means that you can't even use the internet in the main bar/restaurant area.

These two elements made us think that the cost of stay in one of the tents was overpriced...

Beautiful lodge, wonderful staff, amazing kitchen. Best view on the Nile & if you go to Murchison, this should be the stay 2 be ????

lodge très bien situé au bord du Nil, parties communes très agréables. Les tentes/cottages sont simples mais avec tout le confort, un peu sombres cependant et sans vue sur le Nil pour certaines, dommage !
Les repas sous la paillote sont plutôt moyens (beaucoup de pâtes et de pommes de terre (mais c’est souvent le cas en Ouganda !). Les lunch-boxes fournies par le logde sont quant à elles vraiment limite… Coin piscine (avec Wifi) plutôt agréable en compagnie des singes !

Nous avons dormi dans le campsite, super option pour profiter de ce superbe lodge à un prix raisonnable.
Belle vue sur le nile belle piscine et service impeccable

Wir haben 3 Nächte dort verbracht und wir hatten eine tolle Zeit. Die Lage war super sowie auch das Zimmer und das Pool. Ein sehr schönes und grosses Badezimmer. Das Essen war gut jedoch sehr grosse Portionen. Die Mitarbeiter:innen waren alle zuvorkommend und freundlich. Gerne wieder!

We hebben hier gekampeerd met onze rooftoptent en het was echt heeerlijk. Zijn langer gebleven dan gepland. Superlekker eten, ontzettend mooi uitzicht over de nijlp en het park, schone en warme douches (goede straal), vlakke camp spots, mooie lodge, supervriendelijk personeel en een lekker zwembad. En oh ja, de manager Paul draagt echt de meest leuke handmade shirts!!!

Best place , good fine lodge, perfect accommodation. Nice pool . Also, there is no wifi ,only on the pool. Food is very good and all the staff are very professional and kind . I recomend to sleep near the river so you can hear all what's happening their by night.....

Cadre superbe, tente confortable et bien aménagée, personnel très sympathique, bonne nourriture, à recommander.
