5-day Murchision Wild Life Safaris

Safari Highlights

• The Big Five: Spot lions, leopards, elephants, and buffaloes in the park, plus rhinos at the Ziwa Sanctuary.

• Murchison Falls: Witness the world’s most powerful waterfall as the Nile forces itself through a 7-meter gorge.

• Nile Boat Cruises: A boat trip to the base of the falls and a separate cruise to the Albert Delta (famous for the rare Shoebill stork).

• Chimpanzee Trekking: Tracking wild chimpanzees in the mahogany-rich Budongo Forest.

Typical 5-Day Itinerary

• Day 1: Journey to Murchison & Rhino Tracking Depart from Kampala or Entebbe. Stop at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for a guided foot trek to see Uganda’s only wild rhinos. Continue to the park and check into your lodge.

• Day 2: Game Drive & Boat Cruise to the Falls Start with an early morning game drive in the northern savannah to see lions, giraffes, and elephants. In the afternoon, take a launch cruise on the Victoria Nile to the base of the falls, where you can see hippos and giant Nile crocodiles.

• Day 3: Nile Delta Boat Cruise & Afternoon Game Drive Take a morning boat trip downstream toward Lake Albert (the Delta). This area is a birdwatcher's paradise and offers the best chance to see the prehistoric Shoebill. Spend the afternoon on a second game drive to find elusive predators like leopards.

• Day 4: Chimpanzee Tracking & Top of the Falls Head to Budongo Forest for chimpanzee tracking. You'll also see other primates like Black-and-White Colobus monkeys. Later, visit the "Top of the Falls" viewpoint to feel the ground shake as the water plunges 45 meters down.

• Day 5: Return to Kampala. Enjoy a final leisurely breakfast at the lodge. Take a slow drive out of the park for last-minute wildlife sightings before travelling back to Kampala or Entebbe for your flight.
