Inaugurated in 1954, Paraa Safari Lodge is strategically located in Murchison Falls National Park. The lodge is nestled in the north west of Uganda over looking one of nature’s best kept secrets, the River Nile, on its journey from its source at Lake Victoria to join Lake Albert – here it is suddenly channeled into a gorge only six meters wide, and cascades 43 meters below.
The earth literally trembles at Murchison Falls – one of the world’s most powerful flows of natural water. Paraa Safari Lodge offers a unique blend of comfort, relaxation and adventure. Each of the rooms is a haven of style and serenity, complete with balcony and private bathroom.
Paraa Safari Lodge offers a unique blend of comfort, relaxation and adventure. Set in an area of landscaped gardens, the lodge recreates a mood that we have come to associate with the famous explorers of East Africa. Paraa Safari Lodge offers a choice of fine dining throughout one’s stay, and the Explorer’s bar is the ideal watering hole after a day of wildlife discovery in Murchison Falls National Park.
Each of the 54 rooms at Paraa Safari Lodge is complete with balcony and en-suite private bathroom. In 1864, when the famous British explorer Samuel Baker first glimpsed the power of the Murchison Falls, his accommodation was rudimentary at best. He would have been as stunned by Paraa Safari Lodge today! The choice of accommodation at the lodge varies – a cottage, suites, double, twin and single.
After a busy day in the jungle, you will have the option to cool off in the property’s exquisite and elegant swimming pool! The swimming pool at Paraa Safari Lodge even has a pool bar – go sip a cocktail in the water while overlooking the River Nile below at sunset; so priceless!
At the property’s restaurant, you will treat yourself to the mouth-watering menu of local and international specialties produced by well experienced chefs. The Captain’s Table restaurant is located on the upper floor in what was one of the lodge’s main halls before it was renovated. You can choose to eat inside or outside on the balcony (which boasts a sweeping view of the River Nile). Special barbecues and traditional dancers make a Saturday evening at Paraa Safari Lodge, an occasion to remember.
When you’re leaving the place, why not to indulge in getting your loved ones a present from the lodge’s gift shop?! Paraa Safari Lodge’s gift shop sells local East African crafts and souvenirs such as guidebooks, clothing, and safari essentials, that you can take back home to your loved ones.
