Drive to Murchison falls via Ziwa Rhino sanctuary

After breakfast at 7 am, you will head to Murchison Falls National Park via Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. Rhinos that got wiped out in the Ugandan wild, are being bred here before re-introduction into the national parks. On arrival at the sanctuary, a guide and armed rangers will take you on either a walking or a vehicle safari to search for the rhinos. Once you have spotted the rhinos, you will stay in their presence for a while before enjoying a bush picnic lunch in the sanctuary’s grounds. After lunch, you will return to your vehicle to complete your transfer to Murchison Falls National Park. On arrival, you will check in at Nile Breeze Bamboo Lodge for your overnight stay.

Game Drive and Boat cruise to the Bottom of the Falls

Yow will have early breakfast and then head out at 6 am for a game drive to view the glorious day-break from across the open savannah. You will see birds and dotted woodland as well as riverine vegetation along the Nile. You will also be able to see game like lion, buffalo, elephant, giraffe, antelope and a lot more. Between 10-11 am, you will have a stop over at the Nile delta and have some fruits. Return to the lodge for breakfast, relaxation and lunch. After your lunch at 2 pm, you will head out for the boat launch to the bottom of the powerful Murchison Falls. This 3-hour boat cruise climaxes at the edge of the Rift Valley escarpment. Here you will get off the boat and trek to the top of the falls (wear sports shoes while on the boat for ease of trekking to the top). Having worked up a sweat, once at the top, get bathed in the misty spray that the Nile creates as it forces itself into the 7-metre cleft to create the famous Murchison Falls.
