TripAdvisor Review
A lot has been said about the River Nile but non of the beauty it exudes when at the Heritage Safari lodge in Pakwach. I came across this lovely, ethnic safari lodge that sought to bring the Luo culture to life whilst viewing the River-Nile and i must say, the blend is heavenly.Just what i needed, the African round thatched hut with a finishing of the typical African floors. Kind of wild, but rich with tradition. You know a homestead of some sort, yet private and romantic at the same time. Business-like yet also family-like. Very interesting context that ensures you enjoy the Ugandan experience with a touch of international culture.This part of the country is supposed to be hot but the Nile constantly thrusts a breeze into the lodge and one can sit out watching Elephants strolling around. You know kind of like you are in the wild but with everything you need and a room of ambiance to go with it! Don’t get me started on the food. All i could ask was, “why didn’t somebody tell me about this?” Now all i know is that i cant wait to go back there soon….
If you like to include Heritage Safari Lodge on the Nile – Murchison Falls Park in any safari with us – Please let us know.
