I can't comment on the rooms as I stayed in the large dome tent which was in any case absolutely adequate.

Loved the feel of the place, with both managers and staff being very welcoming and making you feel at home. Love the fact there's no WiFi or music by the bar, allowing for quiet fireside chats in the evening and making new friends.

Great budget option inside Murchison Falls park, where other places are needlessly expensive. Located next to a visitors office by the bridge over the Nile, so that even a solo traveller like me can walk out and organise her own activities. Also very close to the place where boats depart for Nile boat safari.

Baboons and warthogs roaming freely around the place making it super fun to even just sit and watch nature go by.

The restaurant has few choices but very well prepared for all meals. They provide early breakfasts for safari drives and the food is very reasonably priced, which is unusual for a safari lodge where they could easily charge whatever they want.

Special shout out to managers Gary, Jax and Susan for the great advice and lovely chats. Great staff members including Salvatore and a everyone else's whose name I can't remember sorry!

It's a really bargain, because if you want to sleep inside the park all the hotels are expesinve. They offer accomodation for a good price, good services and good rooms. Prices in the restaurant are quite cheap and they serve you very fast, so no bad coments about. The only bad thing was that the dinner was not very tasty but that's a personal thinking.

Very nice people and great food. We camped and had a nice spot to perch our tents; at night hippo´s walked right by our tent! (So always pack a flashlight and use it!)

Only place I stay in Murchison NP. Love the new self contained rooms. As always great service. Can't wait to visit again.

Best known as a budget place but it offers the perfect stay on your visit to Murchison falls National Park. It's affordable, very good food and caring staff. The lack of wifi is to help you disconnect yourself from the modern world and dire connecting you with nature. I highly recommend this place.

Murchison is a really good place to see game, especially if you want to avoid crowds. And Red Chilli is a nice place to stay. It is simple, the amenities are basic (cold showers, but it is out in the bush), but we had a very good night there. Food was great, a warm welcome from the staff and it is very reasonably priced. Very well located for watching game.

Nice place! Moses was exceptional and polite and calm, attended to all our needs.
And I loved the hippo night camp fire visit experience!

The best place for family rooms are nice and clear and hot water available.
It also has an open area around the rooms so that you can feel the nice atmosphere .. it's an awesome stay at red chilli

Home away from the crowds feels just refreshing. I enjoyed the peace and tranquility. It's truly amazing that one can spend a night near a water body and have a sneak peek of the wildlife as they move around.
Only condition is no movements outside at night lest you will meet the inhabitants of the reserve and unleash trouble on you.
UWA keep doing what you are doing, it is making things better for the tourists.

Red Chilli Rest Camp is a great place to get away from it all and connect with nature. The lack of WiFi means that you can really disconnect from the outside world and focus on enjoying your time in the great outdoors. The campground is also a great place to meet new people and make new friends, as everyone is there to enjoy the same thing – being in nature and disconnecting from technology.

This place has amazing food and hospitality! Very affordable. You do need to ask a lot of questions because the website does not give enough info about their services like their game drives and cruises etc, but you can pretty much book anything when you get here except the rooms they do sell out. Only down fall is no AC but you aren't paying for that. Really really great people and food and sooo affordable! Go across the river if you want a massage or a fancy pool for the day! It is hot in December so bring shorts or a dress that's comfy. Bring mosquito repellent. Do morning game drives to see the cats because it gets hot!!

Stayed here for two nights in November 2021. We had a great experience. Our room was very nice. We ate several meals here. The food was excellent, served quickly, and very modestly priced. The staff was also very accommodating in getting us food even during non-serving hours. Roy, the manager went out of his way to go pick up our friend at a nearby lodge so that we had time to hike Murchison Falls and go on boat ride on the same afternoon! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

From Plastic Bottles House accommodation located in Entebbe, I went with my guest to Murchison National Park and we slept at Red Chilli Rest Camp. It is really affordable and extremely good. Very clean, and organised.
I would highly recommend it.

I am not saying it's 5 star accommodation, but for the budget level, it's really a good experience. The new management of Gary and Jax is making a big difference! The atmosphere is friendly, staff great, wifi steady and Christmas dinner was surprisingly great! The view is superb and I found it to be much more welcoming than many of the upscale lodges.

Great spot for our rooftop tent and to explore the park from! Everything was as described and we really enjoyed the bar/restaurant area - the views are amazing. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially the manager Roy who was very social and has even been helping us plan travels after visiting Murchison Falls! Would highly recommend as great value for inside a national park!

Great place for low budget.
We decided to sleep in our own tent. Washrooms are very close to the campsite and to the open restaurant.
The staff is very friendly.
The best thing is that they offer packed breakfast as you decide to go for a game drive early in the morning.
We had so much fun staying there and will never forget the night at the campfire where we made good friendships.
