Journey to Murchison via Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and Explore the Falls’ Summit

Murchison Falls National Park - Start your day with an early breakfast, as your safari driver-guide will collect you from your hotel at 7:00 am. After a briefing about the safari, embark on the scenic drive to Murchison Falls National Park, located in northeastern Uganda. Enjoy lunch in Masindi and make a stop at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, where you can track rhinos on foot. Established in 2005, this sanctuary aims to restore the rhino population, one of the Big Five animals, which had become extinct in the country. Continue to the park to visit the top of the falls before checking into your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

Game Drive and River Cruise

Murchison Falls National Park - Begin your day with an early morning game drive to observe the diverse wildlife and explore various habitats. Spot animals such as elephants, hyenas, lions, Uganda kobs, buffaloes, and giraffes, among others, before returning to the lodge to freshen up and have lunch. In the afternoon, embark on a two-hour river cruise on the Nile to the base of the waterfalls, witnessing their full grandeur. Along the riverbanks, encounter wildlife like giant Nile crocodiles, numerous hippos, birds, and elephants. Return to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

Return to Kampala

Murchison Falls National Park - On the final day of the safari, enjoy a last game drive in the park after breakfast to see more wildlife before starting the journey back to Kampala. Arrive in the late afternoon, where you will be dropped off at either Entebbe International Airport for your outbound flight or a hotel of your choice.

This 3-day Murchison Falls safari provides an exciting glimpse into Uganda’s wildlife. It typically includes a journey from Kampala/Entebbe with a stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for rhino tracking, a boat cruise on the Victoria Nile to the base of the falls, game drives to observe lions, elephants, giraffes, and hippos, and a hike to the breathtaking top of Murchison Falls, concluding with a return to Kampala on the final day.

The ultimate highlight of this safari is the opportunity to witness the majestic Murchison Falls, after which the park is named, located on the River Nile (the longest river in the world). These waterfalls, a significant landmark of the river, are a spectacular sight as large volumes of water squeeze through a narrow gorge about 7 meters wide before plunging over a 43-meter cliff with a thunderous sound, creating a rising water spray as the roaring waters drop into a pool below.
