This 3-day safari takes you to the best of what Murchison Falls National Park has to offer. You will experience a boat cruise on the Nile, spotting animals on the banks, as well as embark on two game drives on the savanna and to the top of the impressive falls. You will also take part in an exciting trek for rhinos at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary.
Day 1: Murchison Falls National Park
You will leave Kampala in the morning and start your safari to Murchison Falls National Park. Along the way you will have a stop at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary where they are working hard to reintroduce rhinos to Uganda. Here you will go on a trek to see these impressive animals. After this visit you will continue your journey with a picnic lunch to enjoy along the way. Upon arrival to Murchison Falls National Park you will check-in at the lodge, settle in, enjoy dinner, and then turn in for the night.
Day 2: Early Morning Game Drive – Boat Cruise on the Nile
Prepare for an early start today, as the early morning hours are when wildlife is most active, the sun is not too harsh, and temperatures are cooler. After an early breakfast, embark on a game drive to explore the northern part of the park. This is the prime time for spotting African wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, various antelope species, and a plethora of tropical birds.
In the afternoon, enjoy a boat safari along the Nile River to Murchison Falls. As you cruise, keep an eye out for crocodiles, numerous hippos, buffaloes, waterfowl, monkeys, and other thirsty wildlife that are drawn to the Nile’s waters.
Following the boat trip, return to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 3: Top of the falls visit and drive back to Kampala
After breakfast you will checkout and embark on your last game drive to the park. This gives you a last chance to see the big cats and and other wildlife as you head on to visit the top of the falls. This is a magnificent classic highlight of your last day on the safari. You will experience the explosive mass of water at close range as it gushes through a narrow crevice. After this once in a lifetime experience you will leave the park and start the journey back to Kampala having lunch along the way. Upon arrival to Kampala you will be dropped off at your designated place. This is where your safari will end.
