Program

Day 1: Kampala - Murchison Falls National Park via Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary

After breakfast at your hotel, a guide from Oikos Safaris will meet you and drive you to Murchison Falls National Park, having a stop over at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. Uganda’s rhinos became extinct in the early 1980s, after a period of civil unrest and heavy poaching. Ziwa was established over ten years ago to breed black and white rhinos and restore the populations in Uganda’s national parks. Visitors are offered the rare opportunity to take a walking safari with the rhinos and be only mere feet from them!

After lunch, you will continue on to Murchison Falls. Entering the park, you will drive to the Nile River, catching a ferry across to reach your lodge. The accommodation is in Heritage Safari Lodge or similar.

Day 2: Murchison Falls (game drives and boat trip)

This morning, you will depart for an early morning game drive across the rolling plains of Uganda’s largest national park. The 3,893 square kilometers park is home to a range of animals and you will have a chance of viewing some of the park’s residents including lions, giraffes, hartebeest, buffalo, and elephants. For the birders amongst you, these areas support the secretary bird, to name a few.

In the afternoon, go for a boat trip to the base of Murchison Falls, where the Nile thunders through a small seven-meter gap plunging 43 meters into Lake Albert. The banks of the Nile are densely populated with crocodiles, hippopotamus, and a range of other wildlife that come to the river to drink. There is also the option of getting off the boat and hiking up the side of the falls to the top. The accommodation is in Heritage Safari Lodge or similar.

Day 3: Murchison Falls - Kampala

Have breakfast and then drive back to Kampala passing via the top of the falls where you can get a closer look and the falls before departing back to Kampala for the evening.
