Overview

About Your Safari

This 2-day Murchison Falls National Park Safari takes you to Uganda’s most popular and largest national park, covering 3,840 sq km and officially established as a game reserve in 1926. With the great River Nile flowing through its boundaries, the park boasts a wide range of habitats including wetlands, woodlands, acacia savannah, grasslands, and borassus palm forests. These diverse ecosystems support a rich variety of wildlife, with over 451 bird species such as the shoebill stork, dwarf kingfisher, and great blue turaco and more than 87 species of large mammals, including members of the Big Five.

Your safari begins with a scenic drive to Murchison Falls, followed by a visit to the Top of the Falls, where the River Nile forcefully squeezes through a narrow gorge before plunging down in a breathtaking display. As you continue to your lodge, enjoy wildlife viewing along the way, with chances to spot elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, and many bird species.

The next days will include early morning and evening game drives across the park’s vast savannah plains, offering excellent opportunities to see lions, elephants, leopards, hyenas, and other magnificent wildlife. You will also enjoy a boat cruise on the River Nile to the base of the falls, where you can expect sightings of hippos, crocodiles, and abundant birdlife.

Schedule Details

Day 1: Transfer, Hiking and Boat Cruise

On Day 1, you'll begin your journey early in the morning with a scenic drive from Kampala to Murchison Falls National Park, a journey that takes around 5-6 hours. Upon arrival at the park, you'll check into your lodge and prepare for a day of adventure. Start with a hike to the top of Murchison Falls, a moderate hike that gives you stunning views of the falls as the mighty Nile River forces its waters through a narrow gorge. The hike takes about 1-2 hours, offering excellent photo opportunities. Afterward, you'll head out for a boat safari on the Nile River, which takes you downstream to the base of the falls. This 2-3 hour boat cruise offers an incredible perspective of the falls while you spot wildlife along the riverbanks, including hippos, crocodiles, and various bird species. After the boat ride, you'll return to your lodge to relax and enjoy a delicious dinner, surrounded by the beautiful park setting.

Day 3: Game Drive & Return to Kampala

On Day 2, you'll wake up early for a thrilling game drive in the southern section of Murchison Falls National Park, where you'll have the opportunity to see a variety of wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, lions, and many antelope species. The early morning hours are the best for spotting predators like lions and leopards, as they are more active at this time. The game drive will take you through different habitats of the park, providing an exciting chance to observe the rich wildlife in their natural environment. After your drive, you’ll return to your lodge for a relaxing lunch. Following lunch, you'll begin your journey back to Kampala, with a drive that will take approximately 5-6 hours. This wraps up your 2-day safari experience, filled with hiking, boating, and wildlife viewing.
