Transfer to Murchison Falls National Park
We will come to get you when you arrive, either at the Hotel or the Airport. The person who will drive and guide you during the tour is an English-speaking professional. They will pick you up and we will start our journey to Murchison Falls National Park. The best things about this park are the loud rapids of the Murchison Falls and the wide open fields of Uganda's biggest National Park. You might see lions, giraffes, hartebeest, buffalo, and elephants, among other animals. There will be a break for lunch during the journey. If you have enough time, you can go on a game drive or safari in the late afternoon to evening. Note: If you are staying at the hotel or if you leave the airport early, you can take a slight detour to visit Zziwa Rhino Sanctuary and spend an hour tracking rhinos. If you want, you can do it, but it will cost an additional $50 for each person. If not, we will go straight to Murchison.
