Destinations
Day-by-Day Itinerary
- 1
Entebbe/Kampala to Murchison
Depart the city after breakfast for the drive northwest to Murchison Falls National Park, with a Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary stop when schedules align. Arrive at your lodge for lunch and an afternoon game drive across Borassus-dotted savannah in search of giraffe, buffalo, and elephant. Dinner overlooking the Nile as fishermen's lamps flicker in the distance.

Game Drive & Nile Boat to the Falls
Early game drive toward the northern banks when predators are active. Mid-morning board a boat toward the base of Murchison Falls — sheer force, mist, and rainbow spray. Disembark for the hike to the top where the entire Nile funnels through a rocky cleft. Afternoon at leisure or a second short drive. Night soundtrack: hippo grunts and cascading water in memory.
