Fort Murchison Lodge is a peaceful retreat located on the eastern bank of the Nile River at the northern edge of Murchison Falls National Park. The lodge sits near the former Aswa-Lolim Game Reserve, close to Tangi Gate, and offers a mix of historical charm and modern comfort.
It was built with inspiration from traditional Swahili and colonial fort designs, creating a setting that feels both historic and modern.
Fort Murchison Lodge has 12 en-suite rooms, each designed to provide comfort and a connection to nature.
The rooms are spacious and include modern features such as large windows for natural light, private balconies, en-suite bathrooms, hot and cold showers, electricity, king-size beds, flush toilets, and high ceilings.
The lodge also offers safari tents equipped with modern facilities, giving guests an even closer connection to the natural surroundings.
There is a large restaurant at the lodge, ready to serve hearty meals after game drives. Both local and international dishes are prepared by experienced chefs using fresh ingredients.
Guests can also enjoy the rooftop terrace and outdoor lounge. These are popular spots to relax after morning activities, share stories, and enjoy views of the surrounding landscape.
One of the best parts of staying at Fort Murchison Lodge is the wide range of activities available to visitors.
In the morning, the peaceful environment sets the tone for exciting game drives. Tourists may see lions, leopards, giraffes, buffaloes, elephants, antelopes, and more across the Savannah grasslands.
Boat safaris along the Nile are also offered. These give tourists the chance to view Murchison Falls and spot animals like crocodiles and hippos along the riverbanks.
In the evenings, guided night game drives offer a chance to see the secret lives of nocturnal animals. Guests can also enjoy time around the fire pit, relaxing and talking with others.
Fort Murchison Lodge continues to offer comfort and a deeper connection to the natural world.
