Named after the 1800s English explorer Samuel Baker, Baker’s Lodge is located on the southern bank of the mighty Nile River that transects Murchison Falls National Park (MFNP). This intimate and upmarket safari lodge set on the water’s edge overlooks the Nile river with beautifully trimmed grass, large shady trees and wetland areas that are abundant in bird life. Herds of elphants and pods of hippos can be seen from the lodge's main viewing deck.
We offer fully inclusive packages with game activities; by 4x4 safari land cruisers with a guide, or on the river boats. Ideal for those wishing to fly in.
There are few other places in East Africa where you can view this variety of animals and birds so close up from a boat. Elephants, buffalo, crocodiles, hippos, shoebill stork and skimmers to name a few. Traditional game drives are also possible to see giraffe, lions, leopard, antelopes and other game. Chimpanzee trekking is possible at Budongo Forest, approximately 1.5 hours drive away. Hippos can be heard and seen grazing in the lodge grounds at night (don't worry guests are escorted)!
A great deal of consideration has been taken into the design and construction of the accommodation at Baker's Lodge. Apart from remaining environmentally conscious, we wanted to provide guests with a feeling of privacy and give them great views. Each of the eight private cottages, raised on platforms, have excellent views upstream and downstream of the river. Each of the cottages is fitted with:
All year around it is possible to visit and enjoy Baker's Lodge but be aware that the hottest and driest months are February/March and July/August. The wettest months (also coolest) are April and May and November through to early December.
While we would love you to stay with us for as long as possible to get the full Baker's Lodge experience, we recommend 3 nights to have the best possible time. Anything less and you may feel a bit rushed.
