Travel To Murchison Falls National Park | Rhino Tracking | Top Of The Falls | Game Drive

On arrival in Uganda, you will be welcomed and picked by our Kubwa Five Safaris guide who will be holding an A4 paper with your name printed on it at Entebbe International Airport by our Kubwa Five Safaris and be transferred to Murchison Falls National Park. On your way to the park, you will branch off to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for rhino tracking. This is one of the breathtaking activities in Uganda, the "pearl of Africa".

After the rhino tracking, you will be driven to Murchison Falls National Park. Your first tourist attraction in the park will be the top of the falls. 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.
