Pakuba Safari Lodge – Murchison Falls Park Finest

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Great Murchison Falls Accommodation - Stayed at Pakuba Safari Lodge overnight for our safari trip in Murchison Falls. Very comfortable accommodation and food. Our server (David) was very helpful.
The pool was great - very refreshing on a hot day.

  The lodge is located right inside the Murchison Falls National Park and on the banks of the Nile.

As such it is surrounded by wildlife and there were Waterbuck wandering around the hotel grounds whilst we were there. It's also perfectly situated for taking an early morning safari drive out into the magnificent Murchison Falls National Park.

The rooms are extremely large, clean and well equipped. A slight issue was that the electronics in our room were a bit temperamental; it was initially impossible to get some of the lights to turn on but one of that staff helped us with that.

Food was tasty and plentiful and the staff were excellent.

  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

  We stayed at this lodge for two nights, while visiting Murchison Falls NP. The staff was exceptionally accommodating. The room was clean and comfortable and the food was good. Though this lodge can accommodate lots of people, it never felt crowded or was noisy. The location was excellent for game drives.
Note: after dinner is served, you go to your room and stay there, as there may be wild animals walking around at night. (Part of the thrill of staying there.)

  We spent to nights at the Pakuba. This is a large lodge with several smaller cozy places to relax. We had a double room and it was quite spacious and had great water pressure. The lobby had wireless internet access. The pool was excellent and had beverage service and numerous lounges. There are excellent views of the Nile and lots of wildlife can be spotted while entering and exiting the lodge. Sunsets are amazing. Meals are buffet style but cater to many different common diet concerns and breakfast has eggs made to order if desired. My only down side is that their drinks, from water, to beer to wine are overly expensive.

  The location cant be faulted, and the staff was kind, but it was a not a place I took much pleasure staying at.

The buildings reminded me of baracks from the outside, even though inside they were nice enough and with a/c.

Our room was sort of dark, and there was no electricity until close to darkness.

In spite of the location next to the Nile, there was no view from the room or the dining area.

Nice view from front yard and reception area.

I read so many nice things about the food, and the chicken the first night was really good, otherwise I thought it standard.

We had lunch there one of the days and must have come too late, there was not much to choose from, and what there was had gotten quite cold.
