Transfer To Murchison Falls National Park

You will have an early breakfast and drive to Murchison Falls National Park passing through beautiful woodlands and Savannah grasslands. This journey takes 5-6 hours and on arrival you will have your lunch. In the afternoon at 2:00 pm you will go for a boat cruise on the placid Victoria Nile, upstream, to the base of the falls. En route you will see hippos, crocodiles, water buck and a wide variety of birds like the unusual shoebill stork. The boat stops just tens of meters from the “Devil’s Cauldron” for pictures to be taken of the photogenic and majestic Murchison Falls. You will thereafter be returned to the lodge of your booking for dinner and overnight at Fort Murchison.
