Travel to Murchison Falls National Park

You will have an early breakfast and drive to Murchison Falls National Park passing through beautiful woodlands and Savannah grasslands. This journey takes 5-6 hours and on arrival, you will have your lunch and in the afternoon you will go for a boat cruise on the placid Victoria Nile, upstream, to the base of the falls. En route, you will see hippos, crocodiles, water-buck and a wide variety of birds like the rare shoebill stork. The boat stops just tens of meters from the “Devil’s Cauldron” for pictures to be taken of the photogenic and majestic Murchison Falls and then hike to the top of falls. Thereafter, you will drive to lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
