A Journey Through Murchison Falls

The Murchison Falls National Park is a natural wonder that has long been Uganda’s main attraction. The park is home to 75 unique mammal species and 420 kinds of birds, offering a rich tapestry of wildlife. On the 2-Day Safari, you’ll embark on a river cruise to the base of the falls, where the Nile River surges through a narrow gorge, creating a magnificent waterfall that will leave you in awe.

The early morning game drive is a highlight, offering the best opportunity to spot the ‘big five’ such as lions, elephants, and giraffes. The park’s vast savannah plains are teeming with life, and the expertise of your guide ensures an immersive wildlife experience. After the safari, enjoy a hearty breakfast before leaving the park and stopping for lunch at Kabalega diners.
