“We just spent four days in Murchison and loved it. One of the best parts was re-grouping each day here. We had a couple of thunderstorms and what a great place to enjoy them from - under the big open air restaurant - we watched the storm cross the Nile. The rooms and food were great, decent Wifi for sending photos home and the staff more than helpful. We would recommend this place in a minute.”

“We stayed in MRL as a family of 4, myself, my wife and our two sons (who are both autistic) for 6 nights, having booked over a year ago, we were so looking forward to our stay. We certainly weren't disappointed. We were blown away by the friendliness and warmth of all the staff who couldn't do enough to help us.  We stayed in a thatched cottage which was a lot bigger than I expected with 2 floors, beautifully maintained and extremely clean throughout. The layout was so well designed that we never felt overlooked and it seemed so tranquil looking out over the forest from our balcony or terrace. In the night was certainly an experience to hear hippos munching grass nearby.  Food was exquisite and so much more varied than we were anticipating, with something new every night and a great vegetarian choice for us. The staff were extremely accommodating of our son's needs at meal times, nothing was too much trouble. We were lucky to see 2 music nights, and this was one of our highlights, and already back at home we are missing the music and dancing around the fire.  Overall we would recommend very highly, and are already wondering how soon we can go back!”

“This lodge was outstanding. Very taken back by the whole thing. Beautifully presented and very clean. This is what they meant by the term glamping... very impressed. They even got village people in dancing and singing around the fire... this was a highlight of our stay. Believe you can ask for this. We were just lucky enough to benefit from them. Do not miss out.”

The Murchison River Lodge was the perfect spot to relax between game drives. We spent 3 nights in a safari tent with our 3 kids and it was a wonderful experience. The accommodation was more than large enough for the 5 of us and was well appointed and clean. The entire property was beautiful. The classy indoor/outdoor bathroom worked perfectly with the safari tent. The food was great, and the staff was wonderful. Everyone we talked to seemed to really enjoy their roles at the MRL and were really customer focused. What I liked most was that the MRL is a really nice spot that is also super family friendly and family oriented. Many staff members even expressed to me how much they love having kids stay there. The pool is truly perfect after a long, hot game drive. It's partially covered so some of it is always shaded and it offers views of the Nile. Keep an eye on your stuff, you don't want it swiped by a curious Baboon.

“We have come many times to MRL and it has always been great! It is very family oriented, staff is friendly, the food is consistently good, the pool house is nice to take a break and the lodge is well taken care of.”

“We had the most wonderful stay at Murchison River Lodge on the banks of the river Nile. The staff are all so happy and attentive and made us feel like we were part of one big family. The main lodge/dining/bar area has a slightly raised aspect affording panoramic views of the Nile and the elephants and hippos on the papyrus islands and far bank. There are resident Vervet monkeys and stunning birdlife wherever you look. There is also a raised viewing platform to make the most of the beautiful sunsets. The food was delicious and plentiful, with a BBQ accompanied by local dancing and singing at the firepit every few days. The pool area with views and shaded areas is a lovely respite from the heat and an honesty bar with wi-fi is adjoining. We stayed in a luxury safari tent which had comfortable beds, walk-in mosquito net, safe and limited hanging space. The beautifully designed stone ensuite bathroom is surrounded by a modesty wall and covered by a huge A frame thatch roof giving a tropical open air feel. Our stay of nine nights allowed us to do several game drives and river boat trips (to the Falls and sighting the famous Shoe Bill) in addition to relaxing around this lovely lodge. We can't wait to return.
