About
Sambiya River Lodge is situated only 15 minutes from the top of the magnificent Murchison Falls. The lodge offers 20 thatched cottages with either one or two bedrooms containing twin or double beds.

The rooms have fans, sun-screened doors and windows, mosquito nets, and a veranda to enjoy the commanding views of quintessential Africa. The lodge is centrally located in Murchison Falls National Park and is an excellent base for game drives on the northern bank, Nile boat cruises, hikes to the top of the falls, birdwatching, and night drives.
