Itinerary

1. DAY-1 Entebbe-Murchison falls

   • The mighty Nile River divides the park into its north and south sections. At the spectacular Murchison Falls, the world’s longest river explodes violently through a narrow cleft in the Rift Valley escarpment to plunge into a frothing pool, 43 m below. As the river attracts large numbers of game, a boat safari up the Nile provides the perfect opportunity to see and photograph the animals here.

   • Carefully watched by crocodiles, hundreds of hippos, buffaloes, water birds, apes and all the other thirsty wildlife that the Nile attracts, go to the bottom of the Murchison Falls which approaches you with a thunderous sound. By car or after a short hike, reach the “Top of the falls” to have a perfect view of the impressive falls and the river snaking below.

2. DAY-2 Game Drive at Murchison Falls

   • Most of the park’s wildlife is found north of the Nile which is why all game drives take place on the tracks in the northern section. A game drive in the park allows you to be eye-to-eye with the African animal kingdom featuring elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, different species of antelope and many bird species.

3. DAY-3 Budongo Forest hikes

   • Budongo Forest is located in the south of Murchison Falls National Park. It is known for its impressive biodiversity with more than 20 mammal species, 350 bird species, 250 butterfly species and over 450 plant species. 

   • During a hike in this forest, see red-tailed, blue, and black-and-white colobus monkeys as well as hundreds of tropical birds and butterflies. Birdwatchers should follow the “Royal Mile”, a beautiful track through the forest and one of the best locations for birding in East Africa.
