Day 1: Murchison Falls

• Upon arrival at Entebbe International Airport, our representatives will pick you up and transfer to Murchison Falls. The route takes us through numerous villages in Uganda’s countryside, adorned with lush greenery and bustling roadside fruit and vegetable markets. Our first stop will be the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for a rhino trek. The duration of the trek can range from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the location of the rhinos within the sanctuary. You'll receive a briefing from the ranger guide before embarking on your rhino walk in the reserve. This sanctuary is dedicated to breeding rhinos for reintroduction into National Parks where they have become extinct due to poaching in the 1970s and 1980s. We will have lunch either at the Rhino Sanctuary or in a restaurant in Masindi town. After that, we will proceed with our journey to Murchison Falls National Park with another stop at the top of the mighty falls. We will thereafter continue to our place of stay and enjoy a leisurely evening to unwind.

Return for lunch and in the afternoon, we take a game drive along the northern bank of the Nile. During this drive, we search for wildlife such as buffalo, lions, elephants, spotted hyenas, Bohor reedbucks, Rothschild giraffes, kobs, hartebeests, oribi, bushbucks, and more. With a bit of luck, we might even spot a leopard.
