Yebo Safari Camp is a straightforward, inexpensive camp on the southern edge of Murchison Falls National Park, aimed at travellers who need a clean, cheap bed and not much else. It offers basic furnished safari tents and space to pitch your own, with shared ablutions and simple meals. There is nothing fancy about it, but it is honest and functional, and its position on the southern boundary works for a trip focused on the falls and the forest rather than long days of game viewing.
Where it is
On the park’s southern boundary, within reach of the top-of-the-falls trailhead and Budongo Forest for an early chimpanzee trek. The Paraa ferry and the northern game-drive tracks are around 45 minutes to an hour away, so this camp is best for itineraries weighted toward the falls and the forest.
The setting
The camp is set in bush near the boundary, quiet and simple, with the tents spread out and a basic central shelter for meals. Birdlife is good around the grounds. It is a place to sleep and eat between activities rather than to spend time.
Rooms
Simple furnished safari tents with a bed, a mosquito net and a small porch, sharing nearby ablution blocks with bucket or solar showers, plus space to pitch your own tent. Bring a head torch. Power is limited to a charging point in the main shelter.
Facilities and food
Shared ablutions, a simple dining shelter serving basic set meals with vegetarian options on request, and a fire pit. Wi-Fi is not available. Breakfast and lunch boxes can be arranged for early drives. The camp helps arrange game drives, the launch cruise and the falls hike through park operators.
Who it suits
Yebo suits travellers on the tightest budgets and shortest itineraries who want a clean, cheap bed near the southern gates. It works for backpackers and small groups. Anyone wanting comfort, catering of any range, or a game-drive-focused base should choose elsewhere.
What it costs, as a guide
Budget lodges and camps at Murchison typically run from around US$40 to US$90 per person per night – a bed in a banda or a simple en-suite room, usually with breakfast, sometimes half or full board. A dorm bed or a pitched-tent space is less again. 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
Yebo Safari Camp sits on the southern boundary of the park, so it is a low-cost base for the top-of-the-falls hike and for Budongo Forest, with the northern game drives a ferry crossing away. We use it on the tightest budget itineraries, usually paired with a group game drive to keep the overall cost down.
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.
