Fort Murchison is a tourist lodge set in the savannah landscapes in northern Uganda in the Murchison Falls National Park; it has 12 en suite units for guests. The lodge is 5km drive from the Tangi gate and lies along the Karuma – Pakwach road; it offers mid-range accommodation with provision for budget travelers on Uganda safaris.

The SWITCH Africa Green eco solutions and technologies training has helped create awareness on the various options available e.g. the solar water pumps as well as efficient use of energy and water in the lodge. The demonstration cook stove, ceramic water filter and the plastic water bottles recycling is being appreciated by the staff at the lodge.
