Depart from Entebbe or Kampala to Murchison National Park

Depart from Entebbe or Kampala to Murchison National Park

Early in the morning, our experienced guide will come to pick you up by 7:00 am from where you will be, to start your journey to the best of Uganda’s national park, very endowed with very many animal species. The park is denominated by so-called the 'big four' (lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos).

The journey starts from Kampala to Masindi and directly to the Murchison Falls National Park, with a stopover at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for rhino trekking. You'll continue to Murchison Falls where you start being embraced by the scenery of the park, a narrow gorge of 7 meters wide, because of its steepness and violent waterfalls, falling to 43 meters to the sea level. Here, you will have unforgettable memories. After having memories of the source of the River Nile, you will then proceed for an evening game drive where you will see a great number of animals including giraffes, Uganda kobs, hyenas, buffaloes and so much more, and then proceed to the lodge.

Morning Game Drive and Transfer Back to Entebbe

After an early morning breakfast at your lodge, you'll set off to Murchison Falls National Park for a game drive. Your tour guide will lead you to see animals before they go for hideouts. We expect to see the repeated animals seen while on a boat cruise the previous day and ones that you may have not seen like lions, leopards, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, Uganda cobs, zebras, and many other animal species. Murchison Falls National Park safari has never been a disappointment, most of the animals will be seen. Later, you'll transfer back to Entebbe with the lunch en route. You'll be dropped off at the airport for your departure flight to your next destination or at your hotel in Entebbe or Kampala depending on your program.
