Quick Answer

Paraa Safari Lodge is the historic flagship on the Nile. Baker's Lodge and Nile Safari Lodge offer luxury on the south bank. Pakuba Safari Lodge serves the north bank. Red Chilli Rest Camp is the top budget option inside the park.

Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda's largest park, where the Victoria Nile forces through a 7-metre gap to create one of the world's most powerful waterfalls. Accommodation is concentrated on the south bank (near the Paraa ferry crossing) and the north bank. South bank lodges offer easier access to chimpanzee tracking in Budongo Forest, while north bank lodges are closer to the main game drive areas.
