Over three days, the Murchison Falls Safari offers an immersive escape into Uganda’s largest national park. Day 1 begins with a road transfer from Kampala via Masindi, arriving at the Top of the Falls to watch the Nile squeeze through a narrow gorge before plunging downstream. That evening, you’ll enjoy a sunset game drive en route to your lodge. Day 2 features morning and afternoon game drives across varied habitats, plus a boat cruise along the Nile to the base of the falls, where hippos, crocodiles, and abundant birdlife congregate. On the final day, a morning drive precedes departure back to Kampala (or onward).
