Boat to the Delta area and game

Murchison Falls

After breakfast, you will be picked by boat from your lodge to start your cruise to the Delta area.

A lot of animals can be seen crossing the Nile while others are swimming. This delta cruise takes up to 2 hours and if you still want to explore Murchison, you may proceed with a game drive on the Paraa Side.
