This safari takes you to the breathtaking Murchison Falls, which features a world-renowned, scenic landscape. You will also enjoy a game drive and a boat cruise along the Nile River. Watch as this impressive body of water squeezes through a 7-meter gorge before tumbling 40 meters below in a thunderous explosion. It then transforms into a peaceful river whose banks are swarmed with a profusion of animals and birds. Later, you will make your way to Jinja for water rafting.
After an early breakfast, you will be driven to Murchison Falls National Park via the towns of Malinda and Masindi. Eat lunch in Masindi before entering the park at the Kichumbanyobo gate. You will stop at the top of the falls and admire the spot from which the park gets its name. Here, the Nile squeezes itself through a 7-meter gorge before tumbling 40 meters into a peaceful river below. Your dinner and overnight will be at the lodge.
Accommodation; Fort Murchison
Enjoy breakfast before going on a game drive in the park’s northern area in search of some of the “Big Five” (buffaloes, lions, elephants and possibly leopards). Other animals you might see include Rothschild’s giraffes, bushbucks, warthogs, waterbucks and a variety of antelope.
At lunchtime, you will return to the lodge and then go on a thrilling launch cruise down the Nile in the afternoon. Sail close to the bottom of the falls and take in the various birds, numerous hippos and giant crocodiles on the banks. If you are lucky, you may see the rare shoe-billed stork and various other bird species within this area. Your dinner and overnight will be at the lodge.
Accommodation; Fort Murchison
