About Papa's Camp

Discover the secluded beauty of Papa’s Camp in Murchison Falls National Park, a hidden gem situated on the southern bank of the River Nile, 20 kilometres upstream of the world-famous Murchison Falls.

Named after Ernest ‘Papa’ Hemingway, who miraculously survived not one but two plane crashes in the very location our camp is established; Immerse yourself in the untouched wilderness that captured his heart and sights all those years ago.

Equipped with 5 luxury en-suite tents and outdoor showers, each room boasts scenic views of howling rapids. Experience the roar of the Nile as you fall asleep and wake up to explore vast, unexplored territory.

Papa’s camp offers an unforgettable wildlife experience, with sightings of lions, buffalo, giraffes and various antelope species. Sport Fishing for the legendary Nile Perch is a must do!
