After returning to lodge for a delicious lunch, you will check out and go for an evening game drive. You will then check-in to your next lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

Day 3

Murchison Falls

Day 3 Murchison Falls National Park Wake up early for a quick coffee at 6:00am, and then head off on a game drive by 6:30am. This is the best time for game drives because you have a higher chance of seeing one of the “big five”, giraffes, elephants and others. After returning from the game drive, you will have a luxurious, full breakfast and then relax by the swimming pool until lunch. At this point you will proceed on a boat cruise to the bottom of the falls, where you will see humongous hippos, different bird species and some of the other 76 species of mammals that are found in this park. The boat cruise usually takes up to three hours and will conclude with a hike to the top of the falls. After the boat cruise, you will drive back to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
