Masindi is the natural halfway point on the drive from Kampala to Murchison Falls, and breaking the journey here rather than pushing straight through in one day makes the trip considerably less exhausting — particularly if you want an early start into the park the next morning.
Masindi Hotel — Uganda's oldest hotel (built 1923), a national heritage site once visited by Ernest Hemingway. The history-buff's choice.
New Court View Hotel — Family-run since 2003, 17 thatched cottages, a genuinely strong restaurant reputation.
Court View Hotel — Ugandan-owned, 30+ years of history, positioned as a regional base rather than just a stopover.
Global Village Hotel — Budget-to-mid, Pakwach-side, for travellers approaching the park's northern gate.
Country Home Guest House — A small, personal homestay-style option for independent travellers.
If breaking the Kampala–Murchison Falls drive via Masindi town, New Court View or Masindi Hotel are the most established, reliable options. If routing via Pakwach toward the park's northern gate instead, Global Village is the more practical stop.
