SPECTACULAR MURCHISON FALLS

MURCHISON FALLS NATIONAL PARK – 3 DAYS / 2 NIGHTS [NO GORILLAS]

Day 01: Murchison Falls National Park  
From Kampala, start the scenic drive north-west to Murchison Falls National Park via the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. Covering 3,840 sq kms of savannah, rainforest and hills, this is Uganda's largest park.  In the afternoon we will visit the "top of the falls" for your chance to view the magnificence of the Nile. The park is cut into half by the famous River Nile where it has to squeeze itself through the legendary Murchison Falls, an impossibly narrow 7 m gap in a cleft rock creating a powerful explosion of white water. The Falls are believed to be the most powerful natural flow of water anywhere on earth. Lookout for the Rock pratincole and African Skimmery.

Overnight Red Chilli Rest Camp / Sambiya River Lodge / Paraa Safari Lodge

Day 02: Murchison

Enjoy the early morning game drive via the Nyamsika Plateau, where you may see elephant, lion, buffalo, giraffe, hartebeests and many other animals. Afternoon boat cruise upstream to the foot of the mighty falls. En route, you will see hippos, crocodiles, waterbuck and lookout for the dazzling redthroated bee eaters, goliath heron, and if fortunate, the very unusual shoebill stork. The boat stops just tens of meters from the "Devil's Cauldron". Take pictures of the photogenic and majestic Murchison Falls.

Day 03: Kampala

Proceed for a forest walk in Pabidi Forest. Chimpanzee and many other primates may be seen during the walk including l' Hoest's, red colobus, blue, red-tailed monkeys and grey-cheeked mangabeys. This walk is an excellent opportunity for birdwatching and for seeing primates up close. Return to Kampala, arriving in the late afternoon.
