Your safari begins on a high; you will head out North West of Uganda to Murchison Falls National Park. En-route, you will trek rhinos at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary — a true success story of rhino revival after extreme poaching wiped out the last rhino in Uganda in 1982.
After your rhino trekking excursion, you proceed to Murchison Falls National Park. The meandering Victoria Nile and the dramatic falls neatly bisect Uganda's largest park, offering a stunning habitat for wildlife — a true paradise for classic big game species.
Before checking into your lodge, you’ll drive to the top of the falls for magnificent views where the world’s longest river explodes violently through a narrow cleft into a frothing pool below. Tonight, you’ll sleep by the River Nile surrounded by the enchanting sounds of nature.
At 7:00 AM, a morning trip to the Lake Albert Delta is a must for bird and wildlife lovers. The delta is home to rare wetland birds including the shoebill. After lunch, a 3-hour cruise to the base of the Murchison Falls brings you close to hippos, elephants, crocodiles, and spectacular scenery.
Later in the evening, enjoy a game drive as animals become active. Expect to see elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, antelopes, and tropical birds — the full African experience.
Experience Murchison Falls from above! Take a sunrise or sunset flight and enjoy jaw-dropping views of wildlife and the Nile. The balloon safari costs $380 per person (including bush breakfast).
Join a guided walk with a ranger to track footprints and learn animal behavior up close. Later in the evening, embark on a night drive — a whole new world of nocturnal species awaits! Spot leopards, chameleons, and enjoy the magic of the African night.
