Paraa Safari Lodge

Nile River, Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda

A historic lodge on the Nile’s banks, near the point where the river forces itself through a narrow gorge to form Murchison Falls.

Overview

Paraa Safari Lodge sits directly on the Nile’s banks within Murchison Falls National Park, a historic property near the point where the entire Nile forces itself through a gorge barely seven metres wide to create Murchison Falls.

Rooms & Table

The Rooms

Rooms and suites with private balconies facing the Nile, comfortably furnished with views over the river’s passing hippo and crocodile.

Food & Service

Ugandan and international dishes served with Nile views, in a lodge whose riverside terrace is a genuine highlight of any stay.

Activities

Boat safaris to the base of Murchison Falls, game drives across the park’s savanna, and chimpanzee tracking in nearby Budongo Forest.

Wildlife & Photography

Murchison Falls National Park supports the Nile’s dense hippo and crocodile populations alongside elephant, giraffe and lion across its northern savanna.

A Photographer's Note

The boat approach to the base of Murchison Falls itself, watching the entire Nile compress into a narrow gorge, is one of the most dramatic water-based photography opportunities in East Africa.

Conservation & Impact

The lodge supports Murchison Falls’ broader conservation programmes, including efforts to protect the park’s recovering elephant population from historic poaching pressure.
