Transfer 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 to 6 hours, and on arrival, you will have lunch. In the afternoon at 2:00 pm, you will go for an upstream boat cruise on the placid Victoria Nile to the base of the falls. En route, you will see hippo, crocodile, waterbuck, and a wide variety of birds like the unusual shoebill stork. The boat stops only a few meters from the “devil’s cauldron” for pictures to be taken of the majestic Murchison Falls. Thereafter, you will be returned to the booked lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
