Day 1

Rhino tracking and Top of the Falls Hike

Rhino tracking and Top of the Falls Hike

Begin your adventure with a comfortable transfer from Kampala, heading north through Uganda’s scenic countryside toward Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. Here, expert rangers lead you on foot to encounter endangered rhinos in their natural habitat—a rare chance to stand just meters away from these giants while supporting vital conservation. Afterward, continue to Murchison Falls National Park, where the Nile River squeezes through a narrow gorge before crashing 43 meters below in a roaring spectacle. The hike to the Top of the Falls rewards you with sweeping views, mist on your face, and the raw power of Africa’s mightiest river at your feet. Seamlessly blending wildlife, adventure, and breathtaking scenery, this tour offers two bucket‑list experiences in one unforgettable journey.

Day 2

Game drive and Boat cruise

Game drive and Boat cruise

Awaken to the crisp freshness of dawn as the savannah stirs to life. The early morning game drive offers a front row seat to nature’s grand performance lions returning from the night’s hunt, elephants grazing peacefully, and antelopes bounding gracefully across the plains. With golden light spilling across the landscape, every sight feels timeless and unforgettable.
Later, glide along the waters on a tranquil boat cruise. Hippos wallow lazily, crocodiles bask on the riverbanks, and vibrant birdlife fills the air with color and song. The gentle rhythm of the boat allows you to soak in the scenery at a slower pace, capturing the harmony of water and wildlife.
As the adventure winds down, you’ll begin the scenic drive back to Kampala, carrying with you vivid memories of Uganda’s wild beauty and the serenity of its waterways. We shall drop you off at your hotel late evening marking the end of the unforgetable adventure.
