2 Day - Murchison Falls National Park Big 5 Safari

After breakfast, your tour guide will pick you from Kampala (or Entebbe) and you will embark on the drive (311Km from Kampala and approximately 5 hours) to Murchison Falls National Park. You drive along the notable landscapes of Nakasongola crossing the Kafu River and passing by the verdant Budongo Forest and upon arrival, you’ll drive to the top of the falls. You encounter the world’s longest Nile River as squeezes itself to pass through an 8m ravine forming a plume of spray marked by a thunderous roar and a trademark rainbow as it falls 43m below to the Devils Cauldron. The site displays an extraordinary scene for photography. You retreat from the activity and connect to Paraa Jetty to catch up with the Nile launch cruise to the bottom of the falls departing at 2 pm. The Nile launch cruise offers you an opportunity to explore the calm waters of Nile River as they approach the delta gaining views of the aquatic Species like Nile crocodiles and Hippos not forgetting the lucky sights of the most sought-after shoebill stork. The boat stops at the bottom of Murchison Falls – the world’s powerful waterfall enjoying one of the magical sceneries in Uganda. Retreat from the activity and connect to the lodge for relaxation, dinner, and overnight.

At 7 Am you will connect to the continuing savannah landscapes of Murchison Falls National Park for an impressive morning game drive in the northern part of the park to catch up with the early wildlife before they disappear to graze and hunt.

The possible sights include Rothschild Giraffes, the Jackson’s Hartebeest, the lions, the leopards, the Cape Buffaloes, the Oribis, the elephants, Kobs among others.
