What Eco Means To Us?
The word "Eco" is used freely. Many lodges, hotels and glamping sites, proudly describe themselves as Eco friendly. What does that mean? At Glamp Murchison, we think it should mean more than a label. So rather than telling you how Eco friendly we are, here are six examples so you can decide for yourself.
BAR & POOL
Imagine diving in at the deep end and swimming the 22 meter length of our crystal clear pool. Get comfortable on one of our submerged pool stools. Drink cocktails fresh from our fruit trees a few hundred meters behind you. This water is filtered and purified with Eco-tech. Powered from a solar array and filled using purified river water from our water plant. Our pool is completely self contained and runs parallel to the Nile for breath-taking Nile views whilst refreshing yourself at the bar
Seasonal Kitchen
Our seasonal kitchen brings together the finest fresh ingredients and traditional flavours, offering generous English and continental breakfasts, leisurely two-course lunches and exquisite five-course dinners. Dine overlooking the magnificent Nile and Murchison Falls National Park, or enjoy a private meal on your luxury tent veranda. Powered primarily by solar energy, our kitchen combines modern electric cooking with traditional charcoal grilling for authentic flavours, creating memorable dining experiences while keeping our environmental footprint to a minimum.
Farm to Table
Across our 40-acre riverside sanctuary, we embrace the true spirit of farm-to-table dining. Our organic gardens provide seasonal vegetables, fragrant herbs and fresh fruits, while our smallholding supplies freshly laid eggs, free-range poultry, pork, goat meat and honey. We prepare our own bacon, sausages, cheeses and butter, while locally caught Nile perch and tilapia bring the river's freshest flavours to your plate. Lovingly prepared by our chef, these homegrown ingredients create an exceptional dining experience rooted in freshness, sustainability and the natural abundance of Uganda.
Community
The heart of Glamp Murchison lies in the warmth, kindness and generosity of our neighbouring communities. We believe tourism should make a meaningful difference to local lives, and we are proud to have already raised funds for a village primary school serving 80 children. Through local employment, supporting small businesses and investing in education, clean drinking water, healthcare and community infrastructure, we aim to create lasting opportunities. By choosing to stay with us, you become part of this shared journey, helping our neighbours and their families build a brighter, more sustainable future.
Pure & Fresh
One of our proudest achievements is our solar-powered, three-stage water purification system, transforming water drawn directly from the Nile into exceptionally clean, fresh water. Beginning with natural, gravity-fed slow sand filtration, our water undergoes further purification through activated carbon, fine filtration and ultraviolet treatment. Finally, advanced reverse osmosis produces beautifully pure drinking and cooking water. Independently tested by the district chemist, our treated water is carefully monitored for safety and quality, giving guests confidence in every glass. All this is achieved using renewable energy, while minimising plastic waste and protecting the environment we treasure.
Self-Sufficiency
Nestled along 250 metres of pristine Nile riverfront, Glamp Murchison was created in a remote wilderness once accessible only by foot or motorcycle. We built four kilometres of access road and installed an extensive network of underground cables and water pipes to bring modern comforts to this remarkable location. Today, our solar-powered infrastructure, independent water purification system and sustainable waste management allow us to operate largely off-grid. From reliable electricity to hot, pressurised showers available around the clock, we combine the comforts of a luxury safari lodge with a deep commitment to protecting the natural environment.
