Why Choose This Safari

DAY 1: Transfer to Murchison Falls National Park for wildlife game and boat safari via ziwa for Rhino tracking.

Begin your safari with an early departure from Kampala (around 6:00 AM), traveling 305 km northwest (5-6 hours) via the lush Luweero Triangle and Masindi, arriving at Murchison Falls National Park by early afternoon.

En route, stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary (2-3 hours) for guided tracking of Uganda’s endangered white rhinos on foot—only 27 individuals roam semi-wild here, offering rare close encounters in a secure 70 km² haven restored since 2005. Spot mothers with calves amid acacia scrub, learning conservation success stories before lunch. Continue 1.5 hours to Murchison Falls, Africa’s largest protected area (3,840 km²), for an afternoon game drive along the Nile’s banks: expect elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, Uganda kob, plus lions, leopards, and over 450 bird species like the shoebill stork, if you happen to get the chance.

End with a 90-minute boat safari on the Victoria Nile to the base of the thunderous 43-meter Murchison Falls, where billions of gallons crash hourly—crocodiles, hippos, and waterbirds line the channels.
