Murchison Falls National Park

Join your driver-guide on an early morning game drive to explore the diverse wildlife of Murchison Falls National Park. Look out for elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes, Rothschild giraffes, hippos, waterbucks, bushbucks, and Jackson’s Hartebeest, among others. The birdlife is also abundant, with species such as the Abyssinian ground hornbill, grey herons, African fish eagle, and saddle-billed storks.

Return to the lodge for lunch. At 2:00pm, you’ll transfer to a pier on the Nile River for a boat cruise towards the base of the falls. Along the way, you may see hippos in the water and Nile Crocodiles lining the riverbank. Capture stunning photos and enjoy the view from the rocks at the base of Murchison Falls. After disembarking, hike to the top of the falls, where you will witness the Nile forcefully funneling through a 7–8-meter gorge, creating one of the most powerful waterfalls on earth. After the hike, join your driver-guide for your return trip to the lodge.
