Murchison River Lodge
A solar-powered, thatched lodge on the banks of the Victoria Nile at Murchison Falls National Park, with cottages, safari tents and a swimming pool.
About the Lodge
Murchison River Lodge lies on the southern bank of the Victoria Nile at Murchison Falls National Park in north-western Uganda. The lodge is fully solar-powered and built with thatched roofs, and its main area, with the bar and restaurant, looks out over the river.
Guests stay in spacious thatched cottages, ideal for families, or in safari tents set in the bush, some of them just metres from the river bank. After the game drives and the boat cruise to the foot of the falls you can cool off in the swimming pool. It is our mid-range choice for Murchison Falls.

Kennedy really thought of everything and put together a great package with Daydream Safaris.
Our guide, Jackson, was friendly, funny, and had eagle eyes—no animal escaped his notice. We got to see all kinds of animals, from elephants and rhinos to predators. And all up close!
For another trip to Kenya or another safari, I highly recommend Kennedy and especially Jackson, because they gave my friends and me an unforgettable trip! Thank you so much!
The accommodations and food exceeded our expectations, and everything was well organized from start to finish. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Highly recommend Day Dream Safari to anyone planning a trip to the Masai Mara.
But what made this trip truly special was our guide- Mr Jackson, a truly living legend. He had a sharp eye for spotting animals, endless stories about the wildlife and the land, and a way of finding the perfect spot at the perfect moment. His patience, humour and passion turned good sightings into moments I'll be retelling for years. We never felt rushed, and we always felt very looked after.
Although the journey just flew by, and I came home with thousands of photos, dusty boots and a heart full of gratitude. Amazing doesn't cover it. If Kenya is on your list, don't wait. Go, and go with this team. I am already planning to rebook again soon.
From the group, thank you Daydream and the team for the memorable trip. See you again soon.
