Description
Short 3 days Safari from Kampala to Murchison Falls for those on a short break in the city. Enjoy the View of Murchison waterfalls on the Victoria Nile River and Walk the line with the Rhinos at Ziwa.
Day 1 : Kampala - Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary – Murchison Falls National Park
Your adventure begins at 8 am when you transfer from Entebbe to the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, home to the only wild rhinos in Uganda. Rhinos became extinct in Uganda in the early 1980s and the Ziwa site is being used as a breeding site for black and white rhinos. During our 2 hours at the sanctuary, we will see these creatures roaming around the 7,000 hectares of land and see their daily interactions.
As you leave the rhinos behind, proceed to Murchison Falls National Park, on the shore of Lake Albert where the River Nile roars through a narrow gap creating the Murchison Falls.
Day 2: Game Drive, Boat Trip, & Top of the Falls Hike at Murchison Falls National Park
Morning breakfast and start your day on a game drive in the park to spot elephants, lions, giraffe, and other wildlife. This Murchison Falls safari does not stop on the land because, in the afternoon, you will take a relaxing boat trip on the iconic River Nile where, if you’re lucky, you’ll have a chance to see crocodiles, hippos, and an array of rare birds. You will see for yourselves the point where the River Nile joins Lake Albert, which is one of the major highlights of this trip. Feel the immense power and force of the falls as the spray hits your face and you will listen to the deafening roar of the water. At the end of the boat trip, you will hike the famous ‘Top of the Falls’ where you will have spectacular views of the Murchison Falls along the Nile River, a perfect photo opportunity for the budding photographers.
Day 3: Early Morning Game Drive through the park and return to Kampala to get dropped off at your lodging
Wake up early in the morning and get prepared for another game drive through the park. Then, embark on the return journey back to Kampala where you will be dropped off at your preferred destination.
