Commitment to Sustainability
Nile Safari Lodge is proudly eco-conscious. It operates almost entirely on solar power, uses rainwater harvesting systems, and is built with sustainable materials. The lodge’s philosophy centers around conservation, community empowerment, and responsible tourism — ensuring that your stay contributes positively to the environment and local people.
Best Time to Visit
Nile Safari Lodge is open all year round, but the dry seasons (December–February and June–September) are ideal for wildlife viewing. During these months, animals gather near water sources, and the park’s roads are more accessible for game drives and boat trips.
Getting There
Nile Safari Lodge is located on the southern bank of the Nile, about:
- 5 hours’ drive from Kampala or Entebbe
- 1 hour from the park’s main gate
- 30 minutes from the nearby Bugungu Airstrip, for guests arriving by charter flight
Luxland Africa Vacations can arrange private transfers or fly-in safaris for guests seeking comfort and efficiency.
