Wow, this lodge was incredible! The entire experience was five stars! This was my first time to stay here, and will not be my last - I was truly impressed!
We called in a last minute reservation a few hours before arriving, and the moment we arrived, we were greeted with glasses of fresh cool passion fruit juice, and warm washcloths to clean our face and hands. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, escorting us to our beautiful cottages, carrying our bags, and taking our dinner orders.
The view from the cottages, overlooking the Nile River and surrounding hills and valleys, was beyond spectacular! The location is perfect, directly at the turn of the river, giving you magnificent views that are unmatched by the other lodges in the area. We sat on the porch of the cottage and enjoyed the sunset over the Nile River.
The wildlife here is very abundant. The number of bird species we heard and saw was amazing. And birds of every size and color. The local baboons were very entertaining and nice to watch.
The elephants and hippos are very comfortable to come up to the cottages. The hippos graze on the grass right here in front of your cottage. And the elephants play with the trees right outside your cottage. Since we are on the river, the animals visit this beautiful lodge very often. If you stay at this wonderful lodge, you may not even need to go on a safari ride :-)
But if you’d like to go on a safari ride, look no further than the highly skilled and knowledgeable owner of this lodge, Aaron. Aaron knows this entire safari park extremely well, and can take you to see any animal you desire to enjoy. I don’t know how he does if, but he always knows where the animals are and can take you to them.
The meals here are truly delicious. For dinner they served us fresh tilapia from the river, and for breakfast we enjoyed a delicious omelet pancakes, fresh local fruit and juice. We were very happy with their overall meal service!
So to sum it up, we greatly enjoyed our time here at the Park Side Safari Lodge, and would highly...

Read moreEmmanuel and Sophie at Parkside Resort were absolute superstars. We stayed there for 2 nights whilst enjoying a 3 day safari in Murchison Falls. The resort is organised very well, meal orders are taken so that they are prepared and ready for whatever time they are requested - we had breakfast at 5:30 due to an early game drive! The food was tasty and the portions were good with several options including a vegetarian one available every day. The rooms were very clean and came with air conditioning which was extremely welcome. |The resort is only 10 minutes away from the Tangui Gate to Murchison and really quiet at night. The stay was great value. |The only negative is the bad track to the resort, but this isn't too long and our safari van...
