Murchison Falls National Park via Ziwa Rhino sanctuary

Today after breakfast, your guide will pick you from Entebbe or your hotel in Kampala to Murchison Falls National Park. En route, you will visit ziwa rhino sanctuary where you will go for a game walk with an experienced ranger, armed guide which gives you a unique opportunity to view the rhinos from a close distance.
Murchison Falls and Kidepo Valley National Park once had both black and white rhinos; however, widespread poaching during the Idi Amin era resulted in the disappearance of these majestic animals from the wild. Founded in 1998, Rhino Fund Uganda works to reintroduce black and white rhinos into Uganda and runs a breeding programme.
Murchison Falls National Park is the largest conservation area in Uganda, covering an area of over 3,840 km². You will have lunch in masindi and continue to your lodge in the evening for dinner and overnight stay.

Morning game drive- Afternoon boat safari-Top of falls

Today after breakfast, you will depart for an early morning game drive across the rolling plains of Uganda’s largest National Park. The 3,893 sq km park is home to a range of animals, and you will have a chance of viewing some of the Park’s residents including lions, giraffes, hartebeest, buffaloes, and elephants. For the birders amongst you, these areas support the secretary bird and the black chested snake eagle, to name a few.
In the afternoon, go for a boat trip to the base of Murchison Falls, where the Nile thunders through a small 7-meter gap plunging 43 meters into the Nile on the way to Lake Albert. The banks of the Nile are densely populated with crocodiles, hippopotamus, and a range of other wildlife that come to the river to drink.
After the boat safari you will hike to the top of the falls. From here you have a wonderful view and fantastic photo opportunities! You will later return to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
