Why we love it

The location is excellent, and the cottages are spacious and comfortable. It is a great base to explore Uganda’s wildlife amidst the vast wilderness of Murchison Falls National Park and the adjoining wildlife reserves.

TOM Blakey

Founder

Set on the southern bank of the Nile River, Baker’s Lodge is a boutique safari lodge with ten comfortable cottages. Named after the British explorer Samuel Baker, this intimate and appealing lodge is built on raised stilts to offer spectacular views of the river and surrounding scenery.

The raised decks mean cooler temperatures and great vistas from the strategically placed cottages and the large leafy trees keep the property cool.

Baker’s Lodge central lounge is the main dining and bar area, and has optional indoor and outdoor seating, with tables set up right on the edge of the Nile river, and a swimming pool for cooling off after an adventurous safari. On colder evenings the lodge arranges bonfires which add to the feeling of being deep in the wilderness.

Baker’s Lodge is in the heart of Murchison Falls National Park so game safaris by land and river are easily accessible.

Take a cruise up the Nile River to the base of the explosive Murchison Falls, or drive through the area of Buligi, a region rich with Africa’s most famous animals.

Baker’s Lodge has its own fleet of boats and can organise private river cruises, fishing trips (with a strict catch and release policy) and unique river safaris along the Nile. Baker’s lodge is an elegant and authentic retreat in the heart of the Murchison Falls National Park.
