"The Paara Safari Ladge is great choice when visiting Murcheson Falls National Park...easily one of the best in this remote area. But be careful when you book your room to make sure that it has air conditioning if that is important to you. (It's very hot at Paara). Even though I had a copy of my booking with Hotels.com that clearly stated that I hadn't paid for an air conditioned room, it required 30 minutes of arguing and a call to hotels.com before they would give me the room I had paid for....

"The property gives you high luxury in the middle of nature. But what makes the place exceptional is the services given by staff. They treat you like VIP from arrival to check out. I have done a lot of travel and hotels but this was so far my best experience. It brings two worlds together and it’s absolutely have to visit place if you are looking for safari lodges"

"I really enjoyed the hippos grazing at night. The staff also built us a bonfire the first night we were there and we were able to eat around it. The biggest problem was they said we were not expected ( even though my name was clearly on their guest list) and that they did not know we had a 6 year old with us. They were very confused at first and did not know how to handle the situation. One man was very unfriendly."

The lodge was very large with Verandah and bathroom as well as 3 bedded bedroom. You can hear music at night from across the Nile so ear plugs would be recommended for light sleepers.

"I am really, really tired of hotels claiming that they have ‘free wifi’ (I stay in hotels >300 nights per year). This hotel had only intermittent electricity (so no power to the small fan in the room at night). In 48 hour stay perhaps 2 hours of connectivity. I encourage Hotels.com to add a third category “wifi MAY be available”"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Paraa?
The best area to stay in Paraa is within Murchison Falls National Park itself, particularly near the Paraa Safari Lodge area, for unparalleled access to wildlife and the Nile River.

This area is centrally located within the park, offering immediate proximity to the Nile River where boat safaris depart to the base of Murchison Falls. You'll often find lodges and tented camps located amongst the bush, providing an authentic safari experience with animals frequently seen around the properties. The area is also well-positioned for game drives across the northern bank of the Nile, known for its diverse wildlife.

Couples looking for a romantic and exclusive safari experience will find staying within the park ideal. The convenience of being just moments away from game drives and boat trips means more time spotting elephants, giraffes, and lions, and less time travelling. Many lodges in this area offer comfortable amenities, including private balconies with park views and swimming pools, superb for relaxing after a day of exploration.

Families with older children will also appreciate the ease of access to activities. Staying near Paraa ensures that early morning game drives and afternoon boat trips are easily manageable, reducing travel fatigue for younger adventurers.
When is the best time to go to Paraa?
The best time to go to Paraa is during the dry seasons, which run from December to February and again from June to September.

Travelling during these months offers the most comfortable experience for wildlife viewing. The weather is generally sunny with less rainfall, making the roads within Murchison Falls National Park more accessible and less muddy. This is especially important for game drives and transfers between lodges.

For those interested in seeing a high concentration of animals, the dry seasons are ideal. As water sources become scarcer, animals tend to congregate around the Nile River and other permanent waterholes, making them easier to spot during game drives and boat trips. The vegetation is also less dense, improving visibility.

While the dry season is popular, it does mean more visitors.
