Game Drive and Boat Cruise at Murchison Falls National Park

After your cup of coffee, you'll set off for an early morning game drive for possible sights of elephants, lions, Cape buffalos, Rothschild’s giraffes, hartebeests, hyenas and if you are lucky, the leopards. You'll return to the hotel for breakfast and lunch.

After lunch, you'll go for a boat safari upstream the calm Victoria Nile to the base of the falls stopping just tens of meters from the “Devil’s Cauldron”. En route, you'll marvel at the toothsome hippos and crocodiles. Over this 11km stretch, you may see elephants, waterbucks, Uganda kobs and crocodiles. This is also a zone of many bird species like the Goliath heron, Egyptian goose, pelican bee-eater, kingfisher, hornbill, cormorant and the rare shoebill stork. There you will leave the boat and start your quite heavy hike to the top of the falls (approximately 1 hour). You'll return to your lodge for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight.
