Papa’s Camp sits deep within Murchison Falls National Park, on the south bank of the Nile River, about 25 km upstream from the falls. Book this camp for a quiet, private stay close to the river with strong wildlife viewing throughout.
A Quiet Location on the Nile
The camp’s position keeps the surrounding area quiet and mostly untouched, giving guests a more personal experience with the wilderness than busier parts of the park. This distance from the main tourist routes gives Papa’s Camp a slower, more remote feel.
Tents at Papa’s Camp
Papa’s Camp features five luxury en suite tents built in traditional African style, each about 36 square meters. Every tent is private and includes its own terrace with views of the Nile River and distant wildlife such as elephants. Tents include king-sized beds, clean flushing toilets, hot and cold showers, en suite bathrooms, and standing fans. The small number of tents keeps guest numbers low, adding to the sense of privacy across the camp.
