Pakuba Safari Lodge – Murchison Falls Park Finest

  First, this review is based on our stay from almost a year ago, but the pandemic kept me from doing too many reviews, and I am now trying to catch up. This was our first lodge that we stay at during our safari in Uganda. It was also the only lodge with air conditioning in the room. I was fine without A/C, but my wife enjoys her sleep better in a cooler room, so she really enjoyed these nights.

The rooms were very comfortable, and the lodge itself was clean and cozy. We spent time after our safari in the pool, and it was great soaking while looking over the Nile. Also, you will see a variety of wildlife everyday while staying there.

The staff was very friendly and professional. We were very impressed with the service provided by Junior in the dining room. We hope he doing well and is still enjoying his job at the lodge.

  Enjoyed our two nights at Pakuba Lodge immensely. We had room 7A and loved the spacious layout and AC. The breakfast and dinner buffets were great, and we enjoyed the beef plated lunch and beef wraps packed lunch we had to go. The seating areas facing the Nile were perfect for a drink at sunset. The craft shop on premises was also nice! The bathroom could use more light over the mirror.

  We had a wonderful time staying at Pakuba Lodge and seeing many animals nearby. The lodge manager, Rogers, was very kind and helpful. The food was excellent!! The rooms had solar hot water shower. We saw elephants, giraffes and several other large animals right on the lodge grounds!!! Z

  We had a 2 nights stay at pakumba and our clients had insisted to stay here , we as mugenyi eco tours we continued to give them that , but our clients never wanted to leave the lodge because we saw the leopard in the tree and the staff is so beautiful junior , Gerald , and the best manager who used to every time asking my clients how they are which is not common to other lodges , the chef is the best , the rooms are aware some with good AC ,we as mugenyi eco tours we will keep on bringing our clients to pakumba safari lodge

  In the middle of the wilderness, cool and stunning views and also being alert at all times..wild animals appear at all times, breakfast, lunch and dinner served in time with hospitable staff who handle clients with care. Very well clean and cared for rooms.

  Wonderful accommodations friendly and helpful staff and perfect location. I would recommend Pakuba to everyone. The park was also a favourite with lots of wildlife and dedicated park wardens. A three day stay was barely long enough.

  Very nicely located Safari Logde, great food, exceptional chef Charles . The rooms are nice and clean. The location was excellent for game drives.

We can definitely recommend Pakuba Safaria Lodge to everyone.

  Pakuba is located in Marchison Falls national park, and its situation on the banks of the Nile River can't be beat. Staff was very friendly, and a special shoutout to the kitchen staff for accommodating dietary demands.

  We absolutely loved our time at Pakuba Safari Lodge. The amenities were great and the staff was even better! We were in Uganda for 16 days and this was some of the best food we had the whole time! We hope to come back with friends and family.

  This hotel represents the best stereotype of African greatness. Before your reach the hotel you will have seen plenty of exotic wildlife. Upon arriving we were greeted by over 30 elephants that came within 40 feet of the hotel’s garden. The service is great, food is excellent and all the premises are very clean. Rooms are more than adequate with reliable air conditioning and mosquito nets. Perhaps the only downside for someone who needs to be communicated with home is that Wi-Fi is very unreliable and mobile service is limited; truly un communicated, which can be a blessing for some guests.
