a unique African lifestyle hospitality, blending modern urban Africa with a cosmopolitan twist. The Latitude Hotels are full of surprises, full of life and sometimes a little bizarre, but always with a strong sense of style and comfort.
The hotel is frequented by tourists, expats and locals alike and you immediately feel comfortable and welcome. Latitude also offers a co-working hub with private workspaces, meeting and conference rooms.

Murchison River Lodge is situated directly on the southern bank of the River Nile overlooking Uganda’s largest national park, Murchison Falls. The lodge has a very friendly flair and guests immediately sense that the owners have put their heart and soul into the design and construction of the lodge. The electricity comes from a solar system, which is also used to power the large pool.
Guests can choose between the larger thatched cottages and the smaller thatched safari tents of which some are located close to the river and are then called river tents. All tents have their own porch with a table and chairs. The thatched cottages are two-story, with two single beds downstairs and a double bed on a mezzanine floor, en-suite bathroom, veranda with hammock, and are well suited for families of up to four people.
The Victoria Nile (which belongs to the White Nile) forces its way through a gap in the rocks, only 7 m wide, and tumbles 43 m to the base of Murchison Falls. The waterfalls can be easily visited from the lodge by boat or vehicle.
Paraa (home of the hippo) is the central area of the park. The areas on both sides of the river are connected by a ferry that must be used when visiting the park. In 2019, a bridge was built which will facilitate access to the park.
