Very welcoming and caring lodge I have ever visited in Uganda. I can't wait going there soon again. Many activities on market, good food, furniture, and a pleasant environment, clean, cool and quiet. It's the nearest destination to the Top of the falls

Super natural environment. We had a leopard problem the gardens in the night. Birds chini in the trees in the morning. Buffaloes grazed as the was shining. The staff wear smiles stretching from one ear to the other. The food is good.

My parents, wife and I had an unforgettable experience at Sambiya. The staff catered to all our needs. The meals left us satisfied each time and the attention to detail was definitely noticed by the entire family. We’d highly recommend everyone to choose Sambiya. Aside from this, additional highlights included the outdoors showers (in each cottage), canopy walk, zip line and breakfast by the strongest falls in the world!!

Sambiya river lodge is located a few kilometers from the top of the falls. The lodge is strategically located and it is overlooking Sambiya river. I and my team of 6 people checked in at Sambiya river lodge on 12th April 2024 for a period of 2 nights but the most fascinating part is that the hospitality at this lodge. You feel the warm welcome from their entrance gate. At the reception, we met Anna, a very knowledgeable and appealing face of Sambiya river lodge. Anna briefly took us through what to expect while at Sambiya together with his support staff (waiters, waitresses and concierges) too bad I didn’t get their names. Before we knew it welcome beverages were served as our dinner orders were being taken. We checked into the rooms and refreshed as we waited for our dinner to be ready. It took them less than 40 minutes to serve our dinner and everything was on point and tasty. A special thank you to the chef who was always in the Kitchen to make sure that our meals were always yummy. Since the following day we had a very early morning game drive, we made our breakfast orders and requested for parked breakfast. After dinner, it was time for checking into our rooms with the help of the concierges. Each of our rooms had a private balcony to enjoy the spectacular and eye-catching views of Sambiya river. While at Sambiya river lodge. You can take part in activities like Ziplining, canopy walk, swimming, nature walk among others and all the mentioned activities are on the house. Saying goodbye to the Sambiya river lodge friendly and hospitable staff was the most heartbreaking part. I highly recommend Sambiya river lodge for all your stay regardless of the length of the stay. Yours truly, Satisfied customer Gloria.

Moris James Buyungo , in charge of client liaison and also the guide for the day is a specialist! The rooms and bed are so cozy. For a moment you forget you are in the wilderness! The zipline over the flamboyant canopy spiced up the occasion. It is a must go for everyone!
