Your driver-guide will pick you up from your hotel in the morning. You then head to Murchison Falls National Park with a stopover at the rhino sanctuary. This 70 sq km sanctuary is home to over 30 white rhinos and its main purpose is to reintroduce rhinos to Uganda. This is a very nice opportunity to observe the rhinos in their habitat at close range while on foot. After this, we will have a lunch stop before proceeding to Murchison Falls National Park.
