Highlights

Transfer to Murchison Falls National Park with a Stopover at Ziwa for Rhino Tracking

Murchison Falls National Park - Begin your day with an early breakfast at your hotel in Kampala, then head to Murchison Falls National Park, stopping at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for some rhino tracking. Enjoy lunch at the sanctuary before continuing your journey through the Kichumbanyobo gate to start your 3-day Murchison Falls safari tour. The park is renowned for the breathtaking Murchison Falls, where the world’s longest river forcefully squeezes through a narrow gap in the Rift Valley escarpment, plunging 43 meters into a frothy pool below. You’ll witness the stunning top of the falls, where it’s said to rain all day year-round, creating rainbows on sunny days. Retire to your designated accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

Game Drive and Boat Cruise

Murchison Falls National Park - After an early breakfast, embark on a morning game drive in the park’s northern sector. Look out for giraffes, lions, elephants, baboons, and various antelope species. Return to the lodge for lunch, then set off in the afternoon for a 3-hour boat cruise on the Albert Nile to the base of the falls. Expect to see hippos, crocodiles, waterbucks, and a diverse array of bird species. You’ll reach the “Devil’s Cauldron” and get a close-up view of the magnificent Murchison Falls. Return for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 3: Visit the Top of the Falls and Transfer Back to Kampala/Airport

Magical Murchison Falls - Murchison Falls was magical indeed! I highly recommend doing this safari. The nature is breathtaking and you see a lot of the wildlife. Murchison Falls are the most powerful waterfalls in the world, and they are absolutely gorgeous. You can get very close to the wildlife in the safari. One of the most memorable moments was when a hippo family came to the accommodation area to feed at the night time (don't worry you are safe :D), it was so epic! We did a morning and evening game drive, it's so amazing to see both the sunrise and the sunset with the wildlife. We saw a lot af giraffes (and very close), elephants, antelopes, buffalos, pumbas, lions etc. On the boat cruise we saw sooo many hippos and crocodiles and many birds. Our guide David was experienced and wanted us to enjoy the safari fully! On the way back home he taught us a song in Lugandan language and we had a fun time singing it! Communication with Pamoja Tours and Travel was smooth, they really care about their clients. You have to experience this safari yourself! Pictures can't capture the beauty of the creation!

Excellent services and highly recommend Pamoja tours and travel - We booked a 3 Days trip to Murchison Falls during our school break with my friends. The safari land cruiser was good with AC, charging pots, fridge, popup roof, comfortable and adjusting seats. Our guide sperito was knowledgeable and kind. He made sure that we saw the big 4 animals (lions, leopards, buffaloes and elephants) We also saw alot of giraffes and antelopes during the game drive. We saw alot of hippos on the river plus crocodiles. we slept at red chili camp in the park and the tents we good because we wanted to have an experience of sleeping in a safari tent. I and my friends took alot of pictures and videos to put in our project report at school while at the top of Murchison falls, "the world's most powerful waterfalls" Great thanks to Pamoja tours and travel for your good services Hope to travel with you again in the future

Amazing Experience - This trip was an incredible experience. We were able to see many different animals and had a very accommodating and informative tour guide. I really enjoyed how it was a private tour guide for just my party of 2.

Theurapactic expereince - I had a therapeutic experience during the three days trip of Chimpanzee Tracking tours. The vehicles we used had roof pops up, that enable us to have a panoramic view of all places we visited. Special thanks to Amos for top-notch tour guide services, he explained vividly each and every place we went and the question we asked as well. Indeed it was a copasetic service from Pamoja Tours.
