On the grounds of this Nile-front resort, a little sign posted next to a suspended rattan seat bears a warning: “Beware of crocodiles.” The reptiles, along with hippopotami, buffalo, baboons, monitor lizards, and a menagerie of other creatures, are wont to wander along the river, past this property’s plein air lodge, eight thatched “safari suites,” and little crops of outdoor seating.

With Baker’s as a home base, go on a water safari past herds of elephants, hippos, and more crocs than you’d like, and stop at Murchison Falls National Park’s eponymous waterfall for a hike to the top: At the top, the Nile, miles wide at other points, squeezes over a gorge just 23 feet across.
