Located in the heart of Murchison Falls National Park, Red Chilli Rest Camp offers an authentic safari experience surrounded by nature.
Red Chilli Rest Camp has built a reputation as a home away from home for travelers who want to experience the African wilderness without spending too much.
The lodge was established in 1998 by Ugandan guides and entrepreneurs, aiming to serve budget travelers looking for a real experience in nature.
Your first step into the lodge gives you a view of the rugged landscape, with savannah grasslands and the Nile River nearby.
Red Chilli Rest Camp is located near Paraa, about 500 meters from the ferry crossing that is used for boat cruises to the bottom of the falls.
Its location makes it a great starting point for exploring the wildlife of Murchison Falls.
The lodge offers several types of accommodation, including en suite bandas, safari tents, and camping facilities. All these provide comfort and privacy for guests.
The bandas and safari tents come with twin or single beds, clean bedding, mosquito nets, private bathrooms, hot and cold showers, and solar-heated water.
For those who prefer camping, the lodge provides a campsite where tourists can pitch their own tents under the starry sky or rent tents from the lodge.
The camping option is affordable, with rates starting at around $8 USD per person per night.
One of the highlights of staying at Red Chilli Rest Camp is the lively social atmosphere. Every evening, guests gather around a communal campfire to relax, share stories, and enjoy the fresh evening air.
While staying at the lodge, guests can enjoy a variety of activities such as boat cruises to the falls, game drives, hiking to the top of the falls, and birdwatching.
In addition, the on-site restaurant serves both local and international meals, all while offering beautiful views of the landscape and the Nile River.
Red Chilli Rest Camp is a simple and comfortable place that allows visitors to enjoy Murchison Falls without breaking the budget.
