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, one of many options in our luxury accommodation guide.
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.
Common Areas and Services
The camp has a shared tent with soft sofas and a seating area, along with a well-stocked bar where guests can relax after a day of exploring. A large restaurant serves international and African-inspired meals, with buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner prepared by experienced chefs.
Other services include a 24-hour front desk, housekeeping, Wi-Fi, airport pick-up and drop-off, in-room meal requests, car rental, and free parking. This range of services gives guests a fully managed stay without needing to arrange logistics separately.
Wildlife and Game Drives
Papa’s Camp gives guests regular chances to see wildlife throughout their stay, with sightings common during morning and evening game drives. The camp’s location along the Nile adds to these chances outside of scheduled drives as well.
Birdwatching Near the Camp
Bird lovers can enjoy the grasslands and wetlands near Papa’s Camp, home to species such as bee-eaters, ground hornbills, long-crested eagles, fish eagles, and grasshopper buzzards. See our birding guide for more spots across the park.
