Papa's Camp

Papa’s Camp is a small, intimate camp set in a remote part of Murchison Falls National Park, an area known for strong predator density and excellent lion sightings. The camp’s limited number of tents and its discreet footprint create a sense of true exclusivity, with days often unfolding without encountering other vehicles. The setting feels deliberately understated, placing the focus on the surrounding wilderness rather than on the camp itself.

Game drives here are particularly rewarding for big cats, with a notable concentration of lions in the area and frequent opportunities for unhurried sightings. The landscape supports classic savanna species, and the relative lack of traffic allows guides to spend time following behavior rather than rushing between sightings. This is the kind of safari that prioritizes patience and depth, appealing to travelers who value quiet observation over spectacle.

We see Papa’s Camp as a compelling option for travelers who want access to exceptional wildlife now, with the understanding that the area is evolving. A more opulent and traditional safari camp, Kulu Ora, is scheduled to open in 2026, which will offer a higher level of luxury while remaining in the same wildlife-rich zone. For now, Papa’s Camp provides a rare opportunity to experience this part of Murchison in an intimate, uncrowded way, making it especially appealing for those who value exclusivity and strong wildlife encounters over formal luxury.
