About 300-400 cubic meters per second of Nile water force through a tiny gorge of about 7 meters to plunge into a violent tempest in a whirlpool about 42 meters below. It is such a beautiful sight with incredible picture moments here. Drive to the lodge as you view wild animals en route.

Morning Game Drive and Boat Cruise on the Nile River

After an early morning breakfast, your tour guide will pick you up for the early game drive. You will explore the major game trails, especially in the northern bank, for good game spotting, including many elephants, lions, giraffes, antelopes, jackals, hyenas, Uganda Kobs, waterbucks, Jackson's hartebeests, and hopefully the elusive leopards, among others, then have a lunch break and some relaxation for an indefinitely short time.

Later, you'll set out for the afternoon boat ride on the Victoria Nile, the high spot of any Murchison Falls safari. You'll get to spot many animals at close encounters. You will have to spot many hippos, Nile crocodiles, elephants, buffaloes, and other animals that come to drink water, refresh and cool themselves off in the scorching sun, and some animals to eat the fresh grass along the riverbanks.
