National Park Safari

Safari Lodging or camping:
Murchison Falls National Park is in the north west of Uganda Africa. These park covers approximately 3840 sq km, and the River Nile passes through. Rabonga Forest in the south east has large populations of chimps and the Nile has a lot of hippos and crocs. Safari on Uganda National park see the Elephants, Rothschild's giraffe, cape buffalo, hartebeest, oribi, waterbuck, bushbuck, warthog, lion, leopard, hippo, nile crocodile, olive baboons, mongoose, honey badger, monitor lizards, birds and etc. Murchison Falls National Park: Part of the Albertine Rift. the White Nile flows through this park from east to west, before turning north when it contacts Lake Albert. Point of note is the spectacular Murchison Falls, where the Nile squeezes much of its water through a 7-meter wide cleft. Less know is the Uhuru Falls, adjacent to Murchison Falls.
Lodging
The Nile Safari Camp accessible through a very bumpy road is a luxury tent-style accommodation with spectacular service and wooden cabins overlooking the Nile River. Very quaint and rustic, but with 5-star service. Paraa Lodge located on the "animal-side" of the Nile River is a hotel boasting a colonial style and a very good food buffet. Simple and cheap'banda style' accommodation as well as camping can be found at Boomu Women's Group.
Camping in africa:
Red Chili Guest House is the cheapest option at Murchison Falls. The nearby village allows for local atmosphere and cheap local food. The best camping in Uganda (or just about anywhere else) can be had on the Nile Delta. Make arrangements at park headquarters and a guide will come watch over you while you spend a night on the savannah. Shine your flashlight out of your tent to see hundreds of buffalo eyes shining back at you, hear the lions roar and elephants passing....
