Transfer to Murchison Falls

After breakfast, your dedicated driver will brief you on the 3-day Murchison Falls safari and then take you on the 6-hour journey. You will pass through Luwero and stop at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for a short rhino tracking experience.

Stop in Masindi, where you will have lunch, and later proceed to the park. Once in the park, look out for various animals such as warthogs and baboons, among others. Being at the top of the falls is an amazing experience, as you will watch the magnificent falls squeezing through the rocks in an 8-meter gorge. Take as many photos as you can. Later, drive to Heritage Lodge, relax the whole evening, have dinner and overnight.
