Top Pakuba Hotel Reviews

Hornbill Bush Lodge

Hornbill Bush Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"A lovely lodge on the edge of Murchison Falls National Park and the Nile. The staff were friendly and always escorted us to and from our lodge after dark in case of elephants (which we did encounter on the track to the lodge on one eve). The lodge was very large with Verandah and bathroom as well as 3 bedded bedroom. You can hear music at night from across the Nile so ear plugs would be recommended for light sleepers. It is so convenient for early morning games drives and the buffet breakfast sets you up for the day. I would recommend a stay for those visiting Muchison Falls."
