Arrival In Uganda | Travel To Murchison Falls | Rhino Tracking | Top Of The Falls | Game Drive
On arrival in Uganda in the morning hours, 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 and transferred to Murchison Falls National Park.
On your way to Murchison Falls National Park, you will branch to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for Rhino tracking.
Second only to elephants when it comes to bulk among African land mammals, white rhinos are intimidating creatures, as you'll see for yourself when you track them in Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch. This admirable rhino breeding project is home to plenty of other wildlife too, but Uganda's only population of rhinos does tend to steal the show, and it is a real thrill to encounter these peaceful grass-cropping giants on foot.
After the Rhino Tracking, you will be driven to Murchison Falls National Park. Your first tourist attraction in the park, is the Top of the falls.
