We pack our breakfast and set out really early for a morning game drive in the Narus Valley, with an excellent chance to spot lots of wildlife. If we are lucky, we may spot many big cats, including the king of the jungle. After a 2 to 3-hour morning game drive, we will return to the lodge for lunch and a few hours of relaxation before we set out again. This time we travel to the Kanangorok Hot Springs—host to beautiful and rare ostriches and many other unique bird species. Animals gather around the springs' cooler side to quench their thirst. Finally, we return to our lodge with stories about the many animal sightings and prepare for the next day's journey.

Morning Game Drive and Boat Trip

Before dawn breaks, we venture into the populous north side of the park, where the diverse wildlife keeps us alert as we try to see as many species as possible. We will look for elephants, giraffes, lions, and the elusive, nocturnal leopard. After lunch, we set out for a boat trip to the base of Murchison Falls. Buffaloes, crocodiles, and hippos lounge along the banks in the company of aquatic birds like the dwarf kingfisher, the goliath heron, and the hornbill. We dock at the foot of the falls and hike to the top to view the breathtaking scenery where the Nile River surges through a narrow opening and pours out into the devil’s cauldron, crowned by a permanent rainbow. Our guide will be waiting for us at the top, and after seeing this great marvel, we will return to the northern side with great sightings on the way to the lodge.
