Hike Top of Falls, Boat Cruise and Departure to Entebbe

Adventure Highlight: Witness the Nile’s raw power and explore its wildlife-rich waters

Morning Hike to the Top of the Falls: After breakfast, drive to the top of Murchison Falls. Take a guided hike to the viewpoint where the Nile forces its way through a 6-meter-wide gorge, dropping 40 meters with a thunderous roar. Feel the mist on your face and marvel at one of nature’s most powerful spectacles.

Mid Morning Boat Cruise: Board a boat for a leisurely safari along the Victoria Nile. Cruise upstream toward the base of the falls, passing pods of hippos, massive crocodiles, and herds of elephants cooling off by the riverbanks. The Kazinga Channel is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, with kingfishers, fish eagles, and more on display.
Return & Departure: After the boat safari, begin your scenic drive back to Entebbe, arriving in the late afternoon with unforgettable memories.
