3-Day Murchison Falls Wildlife Safari

4.5 out of 5 stars (2) 3 days / 2 nights Murchison Falls National Park Easy Max 12 pax

Overview

Murchison Falls delivers Uganda's most complete short safari. Morning game drives across the Buligi tracks bring lions, elephants, giraffes and huge buffalo herds; an afternoon cruise up the Victoria Nile ends beneath the spray of the falls themselves; and a guided hike to the top puts the river's full violence at your feet.

Day-by-day itinerary

Drive north with a rhino-tracking stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary — the only place in Uganda to see wild rhino on foot. Cross the Nile and check in.

Wonderful, book early

A fantastic experience. Only advice: book months ahead as permits sell out. Our guide Robert was a walking encyclopedia.

Trip of a lifetime

Everything ran like clockwork — the guide's knowledge was extraordinary and the moment with the wildlife left us speechless. Worth every shilling.
