Transfer from Entebbe to Murchison Falls National Park via Zziwa Rhino Sanctuary

Murchison Falls National Park - At 6:00 am, the safari adventure begins, heading north from Kampala to Murchison Falls National Park. A friendly and experienced guide will pick up the group, provide a briefing about the trip, and drive towards Murchison Falls National Park. There will be a stop at Zziwa Rhino Sanctuary to encounter Uganda’s endangered white rhinos. Afterward, the journey continues to Murchison Falls National Park, where a hike to the top of the falls offers a breathtaking view of the Nile as it forces its way through the rocks, creating a stunning scene. The sight of the calm Nile dropping through a narrow gorge, falling about 150 feet with a thunderous roar, is truly remarkable. Following this activity, an introductory game drive will lead to the lodge. Upon arrival, guests will check in, relax, enjoy dinner, and have the option of a campfire.

Early Morning Game Drive and Afternoon Boat Cruise

Murchison Falls National Park - After breakfast, the day begins with an early morning game drive across the expansive plains of Uganda’s largest National Park.

Bird enthusiasts can spot species like the secretary bird and the black-chested snake eagle.

In the afternoon, a boat trip to the base of Murchison Falls awaits, where the Nile crashes through a narrow 7-meter gap, plunging 43 meters on its way to Lake Albert. The riverbanks are teeming with crocodiles, hippopotamuses, and other wildlife that come to drink.

Besides chimps, the forest is home to 9 different monkey species, such as the red-tailed monkey and bush babies. The forest canopy is alive with colorful butterflies and various bird species, including the Great blue Turaco, joyful greenbul, olive long-tailed cuckoo, and the superb black bee eater.

The duration of the trek varies, depending on the location of the gorilla families, and can last 2 to 8 hours, including one hour of direct interaction.
