Arrive in Uganda | Murchison Falls National Park | Top of the Falls
Arrive in Uganda | Murchison Falls National Park | Top of the Falls
Upon arrival in Uganda, you will be picked up by our Kubwa Five Safaris representative at Entebbe International Airport. Look for a sign with your name printed on an A4 paper. You will then be transferred to Murchison Falls National Park. Once there, the vehicle will leave you near the falls, and you can hike from the top to the bottom. It is an exciting experience that brings you very close to the rushing whitewater as it squeezes itself through the narrow crevice below. The resulting mist from the turbulence often produces rainbows. After the hike, dinner and overnight accommodation will be provided at Parkside Safari Lodge.
