Entikko Safari Lodge is a comfortable mid-range property on the north bank, offering a mix of en-suite cottages and raised safari tents within easy reach of the northern game-drive tracks. It is a solid middle option – more polished than the simplest lodges, more affordable than the riverside camps – with a pool, a good kitchen and a quiet bush setting. For travellers who want comfort and value in roughly equal measure, it fits well.
Where it is
On the north bank within reach of the Buligi and Albert game-drive circuits, so morning drives start without a ferry crossing. The Paraa jetty for the launch cruise is a short drive away, and the top of the falls is a ferry crossing and a drive beyond on the south bank.
The setting
The lodge sits in quiet savanna woodland, with the cottages and tents spread out among the trees and a central lounge, dining area and pool. Wildlife and birds move through the grounds. The atmosphere is comfortable and calm.
Rooms
A choice of en-suite thatched cottages and raised safari tents, each with a good bed under a mosquito net, a proper bathroom with hot water, a fan and a private veranda. Family options are available. Power is solar with generator backup.
Facilities and food
A swimming pool, a restaurant and bar serving a set three-course menu with choices and dietary flexibility, a lounge, a fire pit and slow Wi-Fi in the main area. Breakfast and lunch boxes are packed for early drives. The lodge arranges game drives, the launch cruise, the falls hike, birding and fishing.
Who it suits
Entikko suits travellers who want a comfortable, well-run mid-range lodge close to the northern game tracks, with a pool and a choice of cottage or tent. Couples and families both do well here. Guests wanting a riverfront room or a luxury camp should look elsewhere.
What it costs, as a guide
Mid-range lodges here typically run from around US$110 to US$210 per person per night sharing a double, full board – the riverfront cottages and the better-known names toward the top of that band, the simpler cottage lodges toward the bottom. Park entry fees, your vehicle and guide, and the activities are all separate – a full safari quote from us wraps everything into one figure. Rates move with the season and the room type and change from year to year, so the prices here are indicative and for planning only; we always confirm the exact current rate for your dates directly with the property before you commit to anything.
How it fits your safari
Entikko Safari Lodge is on the north bank within reach of the main game-drive circuit, so it works as a single comfortable base for a classic Murchison itinerary – game drives and the boat from here, with the top of the falls added as a half-day across the ferry.
Good to know
Rates, room types and exact facilities change from season to season, so we confirm the current price and availability for your dates directly with the property before you commit to anything – there is no charge for this and no obligation. Power at most Murchison lodges is a mix of mains, solar and generator and may switch off overnight, so a head torch and a power bank are worth carrying; Wi-Fi, where it exists, is slow and best treated as a way to send a message home. Meals are usually full board, and any lodge will pack a breakfast or lunch box for an early game drive if we let the kitchen know. A yellow-fever certificate is required to enter Uganda and malaria prophylaxis is recommended for the whole country.
