Long-term averages for Murchison Falls National Park. The weather changes from year to year; ask us before you travel.
Check-out is by 10:00 (10.00 am) on the day you leave. A few things make the morning easy:
- Settle your account. Anything that was not part of your stay (spa treatments, extra drinks, activities booked at the lodge) is on one bill at reception. You can settle it the evening before to save time.
- Tell us when you are leaving. Let reception know the evening before, so breakfast, your luggage and any transfer are ready on time.
- Leave the key at reception. Our team will collect your luggage from your banda.
- Check your park permit. Park entry permits are valid for 24 hours. If yours runs out before you leave the park, a further day's fee applies; we are glad to check the time with you.
Late check-out
If you would like to stay longer on your last day, ask us the evening before. When the room is free, a late check-out until 18:00 (6.00 pm) is charged at 50% of the room rate; after 18:00 a full night's rate applies.
Lost something after you left? Call or email us and we will send it on.
Where we are
We are located on the southern bank of the River Nile in Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda's largest, at an elevation of 1,000 metres above sea level, beside the tranquil river and its alluring sunsets.
