Day 1: Arrival and Transfer to Murchison
Our driver/guide will pick you up from your hotel/residence very early in the morning and you embark on your journey to Uganda’s largest game park. Drive through different districts dotted with farms, banana gardens, and tea, and sugarcane plantations. Transfer to North-west through the famous Luwero Triangle and Masindi Town, and branch off for a visit to Ziwa Rhino sanctuary for a guided Rhino tracking experience and picnic lunch.
Proceed to Murchison falls National Park with sightseeing en route to your Lodge.
Day 2: Explore Murchison the whole day
You will have an early morning breakfast and then set off for your morning game drive across the savannah, along Lake Albert Delta. You will watch nature unfold before your eyes, watching the birds, lions, leopards, elephants, hippos, buffaloes, warthogs, and giraffes among others prepare for another beautiful day in their natural habitat.
After lunch prepare yourselves for the rewarding launch cruise up the River Nile taking you straight up to the centerpiece and main attraction of the park “the Murchison falls” an awesome display of the power of nature. As the boat sails gently up the river along the river bank, you will be able to see crocodiles, an abundance of hippos, herds of elephants, buffaloes, antelopes, lots of birds including the fish eagle, storks and so much more. On your journey downriver enjoy the Nile as you take another look at the beautiful scenery around you.
Prepare for a hike to the Top of the Falls (approx. 1 hour). It is a strenuous hike but worth it. See where the world’s longest river explodes violently through a narrow gorge in the Rift Valley escarpment to plunge into a frothing pool 43m below.
Your driver/guide will be waiting for you to bring you back to the lodge.
Day 3: Depart Murchison Falls for Kampala.
Wake up to yet another beautiful morning in the wild, have your breakfast and then get ready for the return to Kampala, stopping first at the top of the falls where the earth literally shakes from the power of the falls. Take your last look at the powerful waterfall from the top and believe me, it’s a sight that you will hardly ever forget. Head for Masindi town where you will have your lunch from and thereafter continue your journey back to Kampala / Entebbe.
End of safari 🙂
