Game Drive / Boat Ride

Murchison Falls

Start your second day early with a boat safari along the Nile River. The Murchison Falls boat cruise is a highlight of any safari. As you glide along the river, you'll have the chance to see a variety of wildlife up close, including hippos, crocodiles, and bird species. After your boat cruise, it’s time to embark on a hike to Murchison Falls. The falls, where the Nile River forces its way through a narrow gorge before plunging 43 meters, are one of Uganda’s most spectacular natural wonders.

Return to Kampala

On the final day of your 3-day safari, enjoy a morning game drive before departing the park. The early hours offer the best chance to see wildlife in action, as predators are more active at dawn. You may be lucky enough to spot lions hunting or cheetahs stalking their prey. Keep an eye out for rare species such as the white rhino or shoebill stork. After your morning game drive, return to your lodge for breakfast before beginning the journey back to Kampala or Entebbe.
