Transfer to Murchison Falls National Park

You will be picked up from your overnight accommodation in Kampala by our safari guide. Begin by driving northwest of Uganda on a 6-hour drive to Murchison Falls National Park. Make a stop at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, where you will have a nature walk in the breeding home of the rhinos to encounter these endangered species. Enjoy lunch along the way and proceed to the magnificent Murchison Falls. Here, you will marvel at the breathtaking beauty of the mighty River Nile forced into a 7-meter crevice to thunder 43 meters below in a series of cascades. The sight of the River Nile, the world’s longest river, winding its way through the park and plunging through a narrow gap, is unforgettable. You can view this spectacular sight from the top of the falls. Dinner and overnight are at the accommodation of your choice.
