3 Days Murchison Falls safari takes you to one of Africa’s most attractive wildlife conservation sights. This Uganda wildlife safari takes you to Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s largest national park. Located in the North Western Uganda, the park protects a chunk of untamed African savannah bisected by the mighty River Nile. The meandering Victoria Nile and the dramatic Murchison Falls make Murchison Falls National Park a Must-be-visited tourist destination in Uganda.
It is from the dramatic Murchison Falls, which are formed from a point where the world’s longest river explodes violently through a narrow cleft in the Rift Valley escarpment, plunging into a frothing pool 43m below. On a Wildlife Tour through the Park you may see giraffes, side-striped jackals, several herds of elephants, buffaloes, the beautiful Uganda kob, warthogs, hartebeests, and lions. Apart from game viewing tour, the launch trip to the bottom of the Falls is another memorable adventure giving you the experience of the mighty Biblical Nile.

INCLUDED
After breakfast your journey to Murchison falls will start, our driver/guide will pick you up from your lodge/hotel room.

After lunch we continue with our journey to Murchison falls national park but before crossing the water to the other side we shall visit the top of the falls and then cross the Nile where you will check in as your entering the lodge, refresh yourself and wait for dinner and overnight. We always prefer our clients to get lodges within the park so as to start our game drive very early in the morning because that time gets when animals have not yet set off for hunting and there are many chances of seeing most of them.

On this wildlife tour expect seeing a number of animals which include Elephants, Buffaloes, handsome Uganda Kobs, Hartebeests, Oribis, Giraffes, Leopards and other game.

A number of aquatic animals can also be seen which include Schools of Hippo, Crocodile, waterbuck and a host of water birds.
After lunch you set off for boat launch trip up the Nile River with the guide, moving slowly along the river bank viewing animals like crocodiles, an abundance of hippos, antelopes, elephants, buffaloes, plenty of birds like the fish eagle and stork among others. You will visit top of Murchison falls where the Nile is forced through a narrow gap in the rock. You will view the powerful flow of the falls and the permanent rainbow formed by the water falls. Don’t miss seeing the herds of elephants cooling off, crocodiles enjoying an evening sunshine and hippopotamus frolicking in the water. End of the day, then back to the lodge for refreshment.

3 Day Murchison Falls Safari: What to expect on this tour
NB : Wildlife spotting is easiest in the Dry season (December to February), when animals congregate at waterholes and there’s little undergrowth for them to hide in. But bring a broad-brim hat and plenty of sunscreen to ward off the fierce sunshine. For inquiries, reach out to us at [email protected]
