Parra Safari Lodge

This area of Murchison Falls National Park is ideal for fishing and will revive this newly refurbished lodge to become one of the best fishing destinations in Africa.
Fort Murchison Lodges
The lodge is set on the Eastern banks of the slow flowing Albert Nile, Fort Murchison revokes the idea of a well maintained isolated outpost from times where Arab traders frequented the African hinterlands and legendary explorers led expeditions in search of the source of the Nile. This was the metaphor coming to mind when we set foot on this beautiful spot. The concept of Fort Murchison was born.
