Safari Experience

The main attraction of Paraa Safari Lodge is its access to Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s largest national park. The park is home to four of Africa’s Big Five, including elephants, lions, leopards and buffaloes, as well as giraffes, hippos, hartebeest, Uganda kob, warthogs and numerous bird species.

Game drives through the northern sector of the park provide excellent opportunities to explore open savannah and woodland habitats. Early morning drives are particularly rewarding for wildlife viewing, while afternoon drives offer opportunities to see animals gathering around water sources.

A boat safari along the Victoria Nile is another major highlight. Cruises provide close encounters with hippos and crocodiles while also offering excellent opportunities to observe elephants, buffaloes and waterbirds along the riverbanks.

Activities

Guests staying at Paraa Safari Lodge can enjoy morning and afternoon game drives, Nile boat cruises, visits to the top of Murchison Falls, bird watching, nature experiences, fishing excursions and cultural encounters.

A boat cruise toward the base of Murchison Falls is particularly memorable, as the river becomes increasingly dramatic before reaching the narrow gorge where the Nile forces its way through the rocks.

Guests can also take a boat upstream toward the delta, where the landscape provides excellent opportunities for bird watching and wildlife photography.
