- Day 1 - Travel to Murchison Falls - Rhino Tracking - Afternoon Boat
Have your breakfast as you wait to be picked up from your hotel or place of residence at 5:30 am by African Expeditions’ driver/guide, who will brief you shortly about the safari, and then start your amazing journey to Murchison Falls National Park, which will take about 2 hours to drive to Ziwa Rhino's Sanctuary for the rhino tracking experience, then proceed for lunch after, and continue to the park for your afternoon boat cruise on the Nile. This will give you a chance to have a view of animals and other water birds at a closer range. The boat will take you to the bottom of the falls. After this encounter with the magnificent falls, proceed to your evening game drive on your way back to the lodge, check in, and get ready for dinner and overnight.
Main Destination: Murchison Falls National Park
Accommodation: Pakuba Safari Lodge
Meals & Drinks: Lunch, Dinner Included
- Day 2 - Morning Game Drive - Breakfast - Drive Back to Kampala/Enteb
After having your breakfast, head out for a morning game drive at 6:30 am. This is the best time to go for game drives because you have a higher chance of seeing one of the Big Five. The lion's habitat is in the national park; you will most definitely see the giraffes, African elephants, and others. Back from the game drive, have a luxurious full breakfast, and then check out of the park. Proceed for an en-route lunch. With that, you will head back to Kampala with a drop-off at your desired destination.
