3-Day Murchison Falls Safari

Day 1: Kampala to Murchison Falls National Park via Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary.

Your adventure begins at 8 am when you transfer from Entebbe to the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, home to the only wild rhinos in Uganda. Rhinos became extinct in Uganda in the early 1980s and the Ziwa site is being used as a breeding site for black and white rhinos. During our 2 hours at the sanctuary, we will see these creatures roaming around the 7,000 hectares of land and see their daily interactions.

As you leave the rhinos behind, proceed to Murchison Falls National Park, on the shore of Lake Albert where the River Nile roars through a narrow gap creating the Murchison Falls.

Morning · Rhino tracking on foot at Ziwa.

Afternoon · Continue to Murchison Falls and check in. Hike to the top of the falls

Day 2: Full day Game Drive and Nile Boat Cruise

Wake up to an exhilarating start to the day as you embark on a game drive in the park to spot elephants, lions, giraffe, and other wildlife. This Murchison Falls safari does not stop on the land because, in the afternoon, you will take a relaxing boat trip on the iconic River Nile where, if you’re lucky, you’ll have a chance to see crocodiles, hippos, and an array of rare birds. You will see for yourselves the point where the River Nile joins Lake Albert, which is one of the major highlights of this trip. Feel the immense power and force of the falls as the spray hits your face and you will listen to the deafening roar of the water. At the end of the boat trip, you will hike the famous ‘Top of the Falls’ where you will have spectacular views of the Murchison Falls along the Nile River, a perfect photo opportunity for the budding photographers.

Morning · Big-game drive on the northern bank.

Afternoon · Boat cruise to the base of the falls.

Day 3: Return to Kampala

Transfer back to Kampala/Entebbe.

Afternoon · Drive back to Kampala or Entebbe Airport.
