Itinerary
Kampala to Murchison Falls
Murchison Falls
You will depart from Red Chilli Hideaway at 7:30 and make your way to Murchison Falls National Park. You will stop at the Top of the Falls, where you take a guided walk around the thunderous Murchison Falls, with an optional mini-hike to view the sister falls, Uhuru, which was created in 1962 when the river burst its banks. Continue to Red Chilli Rest Camp where you will be shared safari tents with twin beds, including bedding and shared bathroom facilities (but not towels).

Murchison Falls
You will head out in the morning to enjoy a 4-hour game drive towards the Nile-Lake Albert Delta. Head back to the south bank and enjoy lunch and a well deserved break at Red Chilli Rest Camp. In the afternoon you will head out on a 3 hour boat cruise along the Victoria Nile to the base of the Falls. You will be able to observe a wide variety of birds and wildlife, including numerous hippos and crocodiles – as well as breathtaking scenery.

Head Back to Kampala
8.30 Cross the Nile to enjoy a final game drive along the Wangkwar or Delta sector, for approximately 3 hours before leaving the park. A final chance to spot some more wildlife! Leave the park and head back to Kampala, taking in the beauty of the soon to be dammed Karuma Falls en route. Stop for a bite to eat at Kabalega Diner (or bring along a packed meal from Red Chilli) before continuing with the homeward journey.
