Detailed Itinerary 

Day 1: Pickup, Rhino Tracking & Transfer to Murchison Falls Park 

Our driver will collect you from your accommodation after breakfast and head north to Murchison Falls National Park. The journey will take approximately 5 to 6 hours. We will stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for a nature walk in search of white rhinos. Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary serves as a breeding ground for white rhinos that became extinct in Uganda in the 1980s due to hunting for their horns, which were highly valued on the international market. With the support of international organizations, the Ugandan government has initiated efforts to breed rhinos, successfully restoring their population to over 42 in the sanctuary. Besides the walk, we hope to encounter other animals such as kobs, bushbucks, waterbucks, warthogs, zebras, and giraffes. After lunch, we will continue our journey to Murchison Falls.

Entering through the Kicumbanyobo Gate in the south, expect to see animals like baboons, black-and-white colobus monkeys, red-tailed monkeys, red colobus monkeys, vervet monkeys, buffaloes, and elephants. We will then proceed to our lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 2: Game Viewing & Launch Cruise 

Early in the morning, after breakfast, we will embark on a morning game drive, searching for animals such as giraffes, oribis, African elephants, Jackson’s hartebeest, kobs, bushbucks, warthogs, waterbucks, lions, leopards, hippos, patas monkeys, and many more. The park is also home to a variety of birds, including Egyptian geese, African crowned hornbills, southern ground hornbills, piapiacs, lilac-breasted rollers, little bee-eaters, francolins, African wattled lapwings, spur-winged plovers, woodland kingfishers, black-headed herons, marabou storks, starlings, spur-winged lapwings, and long-crested eagles, among others.

After lunch at the lodge, we will set out on an afternoon boat ride. Here, we expect to see many of the animals previously mentioned that come to drink water, along with schools of hippos, crocodiles, monitor lizards, and flocks of water birds like the malachite kingfisher, giant kingfisher, pied kingfisher, African fish eagles, marsh sandpipers, black-winged stilts, and many more. We will return to our lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 3: Top of the Falls & Departure 

We will begin our day with a return trip to Kampala or the airport. Along the way, we will stop at the top of the Nile, where we can view the breathtaking waterfalls that force their way through a narrow gap, plummeting 45 meters. This vantage point offers a stunning perspective of the falls.
