Grassrootz - 6 days Murchison Falls and Kidepo Valley NP

Having lived and worked in the tourism sector in West & East Africa for a number of years they have always been passionate about creating a 'soft landing' for people to explore this beautiful continent and to offer something that provides 'an African home away from home'. They are lucky to have an incredible staff team who really are the life and soul of the Guinea Fowl. They have been with them from the beginning and very much part of its creation. They are very happy to share all their experiences with you to make sure you have the best experience possible whether working, traveling or volunteering in Uganda.

Murchison River Lodge sits on the southern bank of the River Nile overlooking Uganda’s Murchison Falls National Park. In beautiful surroundings we offer comfortable and relaxing mid-range accommodation to suit all budgets in attractive thatched cottages, riverside safari tents and simple camping tents in our shaded and well positioned campsite. Murchison Falls National Park is one of Uganda’s largest national parks and the location of such a diverse habitat means the wildlife, birdlife and activities available within the area are second to none. Whether you are keen for a safari, a boat trip along the Nile to Murchison Falls, or just time spent unwinding at the lodge with a pair of binoculars and guide book.
