Airport pickup and Transfer to Murchison Falls National Park and Top of the falls hike

Arrival at the Airport, our safari guide will welcome you to the Pearl Of Africa and brief you about your safari. After the briefing, you will transfer to Murchison Falls National Park. Uganda’s largest and most dramatic reserve. As you journey through the countryside, the landscapes shift from bustling towns to endless savannahs, setting the tone for adventure ahead. By afternoon, you arrive at the park and head straight to the top of the falls, where the mighty Nile squeezes through a narrow gorge before crashing 43 meters below with thunderous power, creating one of Africa’s most breathtaking sights. After soaking in the views and capturing photos, you continue to your lodge. Later, enjoy a short evening game drive, offering your first glimpse of the park’s wildlife as the sun sets over the savannah. Dinner awaits as you settle into the rhythm of safari life, surrounded by the sounds of nature and anticipation for the days to come.
