Where You'll Stay

Red chilli rest camp

Red Chilli Rest Camp is situated in the heart of Murchison Falls National Park at Paraa, just 500 metres from the ferry crossing on the southern bank of the Nile River, from where boats depart for Falls and Delta trips. It is the only low to mid-budget accommodation located inside the park. Accommodation options include furnished safari tents and bandas — small individual houses — with mosquito nets, comfortable beds, and linen. Room types range from basic twin safari tents with shared bathrooms to en-suite twin and triple bandas, and family bandas with two bedrooms, a sitting room, and veranda for up to five guests. En-suite bandas are fitted with solar hot water systems, power points, and fans. Absolutely no WiFi — the evening campfire is the gathering point instead. The restaurant serves both international and local cuisine from 6:30am to 9:30pm, with the bar open until midnight. Meals are served under a thatched roof with views of the Nile. A campfire is set every evening where guests gather under the stars after a day in the park. Red Chilli has a fully open safari vehicle for hire — lovingly referred to as 'The Giraffe' — where you won't have to compromise your view even from the back seats. Hippos and warthogs are regular visitors to the camp itself, so game viewing sometimes requires no vehicle at all. Murchison Falls National Park is home to more than 76 species of mammals and over 451 species of birds. Game drives on the northern bank offer sightings of lions, elephants, leopards, giraffes, buffaloes, and Uganda kobs. Boat cruises depart from Paraa jetty to the base of the falls or into the Nile Delta

Kalintunsi nature resort

Kalintunsi Nature Resort is a nature-based accommodation in Uganda offering a retreat experience in a natural setting. The resort caters to guests seeking a quieter, more immersive stay away from the city, with access to Uganda's landscapes and wildlife. Uganda's diverse natural environments — from the shores of Lake Victoria to the forests of western Uganda and the savannah parks of the north — make nature resorts like Kalintunsi an important part of the country's tourism ecosystem, offering a bridge between urban Kampala and the national parks.

Tembo Safari Lodges

Tembo Safari Lodge is located in Katunguru, within Queen Elizabeth National Park, just 300 metres from the Kazinga Channel — one of the park's most visited wildlife corridors. Its position makes it the most popular budget accommodation inside the park. The lodge has 10 spacious rooms built in African traditional style with grass-thatched roofs and local wood. Rooms include mosquito nets, hot and cold showers, flushing toilets, free bottled water, free toiletries, and balconies with panoramic views of the Kazinga Channel. Room types include standard single rooms, double and twin rooms, and a Tembo Cottage with two self-contained rooms, wooden varnished floors, large working desks, and balconies overlooking the channel. The lodge organises activities including game drives, Kazinga Channel boat cruises, fishing, biking tours, and nature-guided walks. The onsite restaurant serves local and continental dishes, and the bar is stocked with wines, spirits, beer, and soft drinks.

Eagles Nest camp

Eagles Nest Camp sits on one of the most striking hilltops overlooking Lake Mburo National Park, offering a wide view of rolling savannas, scattered acacia trees, and wildlife plains stretching far across western Uganda. The lodge features six spacious and well-appointed safari tents, each designed to blend harmoniously with the stunning landscape. What sets Eagles Nest apart is its elevated location, providing guests with breathtaking panoramic views of the park and its diverse wildlife. From the comfort of their rooms or the expansive terrace, visitors can witness the beauty of Lake Mburo and the surrounding savannah plains. The camp also offers easy access to Lake Mburo's top activities including game drives, nature walks, birdwatching, horseback riding, and boat trips. Lake Mburo is the nearest savanna park to Kampala — approximately four hours by road — making Eagles Nest Camp an accessible and rewarding first or last night on a Uganda safari circuit.

FAQs

Uganda is a year-round destination, but the dry seasons (June–September and December–February) are ideal for trekking, game drives and birding. Wet seasons bring lush landscapes and lower lodge rates.

Uganda completely surprised us. One day we were trekking through misty forest searching for gorillas, the next we were rafting the Nile. Everything felt incredibly well planned without losing the sense of adventure. The landscapes kept shifting like scenes in a film, each one more breathtaking than the last.
