I’m just into my 2nd night at Sambiya River lodge but I couldn’t wait to jot down this expression! The environment is so nature enriching, the staff are so hands on and caring, wanting to make sure you’re okay all the time! This is the kind of feeling everyone should have when they feel at home. The food is amazing, the rooms are simple yet lovely, the nights are full of bird songs and the days are filled with activities, Zip lining, swimming, canopy walks and safari drives, its just so ideal for anyone to get away and enjoy a full package in one booking. I can stay here for a long while and would recommend it to anyone looking for a home-lodge to experience at-most unique things in the wilderness.

The service is out of this world. Moses welcomed our group, assigned us to our room. The fresh juice is unlike anything here in the US. 10/10 recommend. Our beds were turned down each night for us, and mosquito nets set. We used the laundry services also, after staying in the bush for a week. Clothes were very clean

This was a very memorable stay, the place is nice to get away from all the stress of the city, the ambience of nature and cover of green soothing enough to replenish and rejuvenate you throughout the stay, A wonderful site for outdoor activities I have had a wonderful time trying out the zipline and canopy walk plus the game drive site seeing through all the different animal species and hiking the Murchison Falls

Sambiya is such a wonderful place to stay in Murchison falls national park, with the close Location to the top of falls, game drive, boat cruise and activities at the lodge like zipline,canopy walk, swimming pools are nice and the rooms are extra neat.

Food, Customer care - Moses, Humphrey and Noeline, Coconut ball - so so good. I have loved the experience at Sambiya River Lodge. The rooms are clean and quiet. The serene is beautiful and calming. Will certainly come back again. Kudos to the tour company Speke Holidays.

We enjoyed a delightful stay -we planned two nights but added a third as we were having such a good time. The setting is great and very peaceful, with the accommodation offering some fun quirks such as a private outdoor shower. Food was excellent. But the most memorable thing was the staff who were all so helpful and welcoming. Very much recommended!
