of the Nile forced through a 7-meter narrow gorge forming the Murchison falls, which have
fascinated the world for centuries. On the way to Murchison falls national park, we make a

herds of giraffes on the game drive, families of Elephants while on the launch trip to the bottom
of the falls. Look out for the Nile crocodiles basking in the sun and Schools of Hippos. We end
with chimpanzee trekking in Budongo forest which is partly located in Murchison falls national
park.

Itinerary

Today, look forward to the remarkable journey to
Murchison Falls national park. The first stopover will be at the beautiful Ziwa Rhino sanctuary
where you have an opportunity to track the white Rhinos on foot. These creatures used to roam
the plains of northern Uganda but were extinct from poaching. There are efforts for breeding so
that they can be re-introduced into the wild. After this experience, continue the drive to your
lodge in the park or near the park.

this magical experience on the game drive in the plains of Murchison falls, return to your lodge

In the afternoon look forward to the famed boat Safari on River Nile from where you watch
different animals along the shore and continue to about ten meters from the bottom of Murchison
falls – also known as ‘Devils cauldron”. This fulfilling boat cruise cannot be found anywhere in
Africa with the variety of wild animals and birds.

Today morning we leave for Budongo forest

transfer you to the starting point where you will receive a briefing from the ranger guide on how
to hike through this tropical forest.

After this experience we drive to the top of Murchison falls where the Nile is forced into a 7-
