Morning Game drive

In the morning depart with your guide to the northern sector of Murchison Falls National Park, an area rich in
wildlife including lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, oribi, hartebeest, and countless reptiles and birds, including one
of the park’s more difficult species to spot, the rare shoebill stork. Crocodiles are also plentiful in this park.
In the afternoon embark on a short hike to the top of Murchison Falls where the force of the mighty Nile River
narrows to flow through a seven meter gap, cascading down a forty meter cliff to the vast gorge below. The power
of the falls and the scenic views from the top are breath taking. Walk along the top of the falls and feel the spray of
the water and bask in the cool mist around you.
