Sambiya River Lodge is located in the famous and picturesque Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda, and has grown to be one of the most respected safari lodges in Uganda. Rated #1 by Trip Advisor, Sambiya River Lodge is situated only 20 minutes from the top of the magnificent Murchison Falls. It is the perfect location for those who want to experience the unique ambience of Africa. The surrounding leopard country is a mixture of savannah plain and dense forest that supports a variety of wildlife untouched by mass tourism. The park offers stupendous views of the dramatic waterfalls of the Nile River which plunge 45 meters through a narrow 6-metre canyon of boulders.
The open fronted lodge allows a panoramic vista of hills as well as game viewing along the Sambiya River and the adjacent grass covered flood plain. The surrounding area is known for viewing numerous species of bird life. For most of the year the park is hot by day and cool by night. A swimming pool offers a break from those hot African afternoons. Floodlights illuminate the river area after dark so that one can see as well as listen to the sounds of the African night before retiring.
