A Lush Africa Safaris guide will pick you up from the airport or wherever you maybe and drive you towards the Zziwa Rhino Sanctuary. This is a special occasion to track the extremely endangered White Rhino at Zziwa. You will not only witness the most successful Rhino breeding project in the world but also contribute to their survival. From here, you will proceed to Masindi town where you will access Murchison via Kichumbanyobo gate. Take a scenic ride under the shades of green, cross the seasonal Sambiya River to the Nile River, continue and cross by ferry to the North Bank. Settle in at the magnificent Paraa Safari Lodge. Later, take a sunset game drive and end your day in an adventurous style.

Day 2

Game Drive and Boat Cruise

Game Drive and Boat Cruise

Join your driver/guide on an early morning game drive. Look out for elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes, Rothschild giraffes, hippos, waterbucks, bushbucks, and Jackson’s Hartebeest among others. The birdlife is also rich with species like the Abyssinian Ground Hornbill, Grey Herons, African Fish Eagle, and Saddle-billed Storks among others.
Return to the Lodge for lunch. At 2 pm, transfer down to the pier/dock on the Nile River. Start your boat-cruise heading to the ‘mouth’ of the waterfalls. En route, you are likely to see hippos in the water and the Nile Crocodile lining the riverbank. Take pictures, sit on the rocks, and exploit every moment with the bottom of the Murchison Falls in your full view. Disembark from the boat and hike to the top of Murchison Falls. At the top, you will bear witness to the great wonder of nature as the Mighty Nile funnels itself through a 7 – 8-meter gorge forming the hardest waterfall on earth. Join your driver/guide and ride back to the lodge.
