4. What category of accommodation are the Luxury Suites?
The Luxury Suites are classified as luxury accommodation within the southern sector. They combine elevated canvas-and-thatch safari architecture with en-suite bathrooms, private Nile-facing decks, and attentive service at a price point below the park's most exclusive lodges.

7. Is Wi-Fi available in the Luxury Suites?

10. What activities can be arranged from the Luxury Suites?
Popular activities include game drives across the Nile, the boat cruise to the base of Murchison Falls, hikes to the top of the falls, sport fishing for Nile perch, birdwatching excursions towards the Lake Albert delta, and chimpanzee tracking in Budongo Forest as part of a longer itinerary.
11. How much do the Luxury Suites cost?
Indicative full-board rates range from approximately $150 to $230 per person per night, depending on room configuration, season, and booking channel. Guests should request a current quotation before confirming, as rates are reviewed periodically.
12. How do I get to Twiga Safari Lodge from Kampala?
Most guests travel by road from Kampala via Masindi, a journey of around five hours and roughly 305 kilometres through the Kichumbanyobo gate. Many itineraries include a stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary en route. Scheduled and charter flights operate to Pakuba airstrip, from where a short road transfer reaches the lodge.
13. When is the best time to stay at Twiga Safari Lodge?
The dry seasons from June to September and December to February generally offer the best wildlife viewing and road conditions, though Murchison Falls National Park is open throughout the year.

Yes. The elevated suites with private Nile-facing decks, quality beds, and intimate lodge atmosphere make Twiga a popular choice for couples and honeymooners seeking a romantic riverside safari experience in the southern sector.
15. Do I need to book in advance?
Yes. Because the lodge operates a limited number of exclusive cottages, advance booking is strongly recommended — particularly during peak travel seasons, public holidays, and school vacations when the best-positioned Luxury Suites are reserved early.
