Day 1

Murchison Falls National Park

Murchison Falls National Park

After an early breakfast, our driver-guide will pick you up from your hotel at 7:00am. After a briefing on your upcoming safari, you will start the six-hour journey to Murchison Falls National Park. You will go through Luwero and stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary to look for both black and white rhinos. After tracking some rhinos, we will stop in Masindi for lunch. We’ll then make our way into park and drive to the top of the falls. Along the way you will see various animals such as warthogs and baboons (among others). Being at the top of the falls is an amazing experience. You will watch the magnificent falls (the strongest in the world) squeezing through the rocks of an 8m gorge. Take as many photos as you can. Later you will drive to the lodge, where you will relax before dinner and your overnight stay.
