Transfer to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary

Upon arrival, a ranger guide will welcome us and provide a briefing on the rules for trekking and other details of the sanctuary. Afterwards, we begin a guided rhino tracking experience on foot—an up-close encounter with these magnificent animals in their natural habitat. When we encounter them, you will have the opportunity to take as many pictures as possible and learn about their behaviors.

Afterwards, we will return for lunch at our accommodation and enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the hotel. The hotel also offers a swimming pool where you can unwind and cool off from the high temperatures.

Morning Game drive and afternoon boat trip along the Nile River

Wake up early for a sunrise game drive on the northern plains of Murchison Falls. It is difficult to describe all the animals of this Park in detail, for they number in thousands: species include; lions, leopards, hyenas, jackals, as well as herds of African cape buffaloes, African elephants, Uganda kobs, Jackson hartebeests, and oribis.

Afterward, we return to the lodge for late breakfast and lunch. In the afternoon, enjoy a boat cruise along the Nile to the base of the mighty Murchison Falls. Watch hippos, Nile crocodiles, as well as other animals that tend to stay close to their drinking source and abundant birdlife along the riverbanks, and prepare for dramatic views as the river crashes through a narrow gorge. You will proceed to the "top of the falls" where water plummets 43m high through a sharp gorge before plunging down in a powerful cascade one of the most breathtaking natural wonder.
