Reviews

"The Safari was my highlight for the year. The scenery is refreshing, people are amazing, the food at Murchison River Lodge was to die for. The Safari mates made the whole experience fun and memorable"

Allan M

"Everything was great right from the car hire service provider (Dark Hills Uganda), to the Lodging facilities at Murchison River Lodge, meals and tour guides"

Tracy

I had an excellent time in Murchison Falls with #TravelWithNatureBoy and moving with Dark Hills Uganda! Drivers were great, very reliable and enjoyed learning from them and connecting. Definitely will travel with Dark Hills again in the future, hopefully with one of their biking trips!
