The hottest place to chill in Murchison! Red Chilli is superbly located to explore the largest National Park in Uganda. Situated in the heart of the park at Paraa, our camp is just 500m from the ferry, where all vehicles cross for Nile Delta game drives and from where boats depart for Falls & Delta trips. Sometimes you don’t even have to leave the camp for game viewing though – hippo and warthog are regular visitors to the camp too!

We offer the only low to mid budget accommodation in the park, in furnished safari tents and bandas (small individual houses) with public or private bathrooms, as well as the only camping facilities with modern showers, toilets, cooking area and security lighting.

We are not a posh lodge with three course meals and all the trimmings but we do provide an authentic safari experience…and at a really great price!

For only $8 per person, per night, you can pitch your own tent in the bush and enjoy a truly unforgettable experience at Red Chilli Rest Camp.

We offer twin and triple en suite bandas for $55 and $65 respectively. Includes a standard double and single bed with linen, towels, mosquito nets, electric fan during generator times (please refer to generator times above), lights and sockets, as well as solar hot water.

Whilst staying at Red Chilli Rest Camp, why not book our Giraffe game drive vehicle to do activities in the area? 

By public transport

You can catch a bus daily from Kampala to either Pakwach or Masindi, but there is no public transport from here into the park (approx 80Km). We can arrange a pickup for you on request – please contact us for pricing and availability.

By Road

From Kampala, take the Gulu highway as far as Kafu bridge where you turn left to Masindi. On reaching Masindi, turn right opposite the Shell garage onto the dirt road towards Murchison Falls National Park. After around 10 to 15 km, turn left (signposted) and continue to the Park gate. From there it is approximately 60km to our camp, signposted from the main road, just before you reach the river.

You can also enter the park from Tangi or Wankwar gates on the North bank of the Nile, but please bear in mind the ferry crossing times are strictly adhered to:

Ferry Crossing Times

The ferry connecting the South of the park with the North of the park has now been replaced with a bridge. 

Park Entry 07:00 until 19:00. (Please refer here for Uganda Wildlife park entry fees)
