About This Tour

Perfect for travellers with limited time, this 2-day getaway packs the best of Murchison Falls National Park into a short, action-filled itinerary.

Witness the raw power of the Nile as it forces through a narrow 7-metre gorge. Enjoy a game drive on the park's northern bank where Rothschild's giraffes, elephants, lions, and hartebeest roam freely. The afternoon boat cruise to the base of the falls is a highlight, with hippo pods, Nile crocodiles, and colourful bee-eaters lining the banks.

An ideal add-on for visitors based in Kampala or Entebbe looking for a real safari experience without a long commitment.

Great safari, minor hiccups

The game drives were fantastic and we saw all of the Big Five. The lodge was comfortable. Only downside was a slight delay on the second day, but overall a wonderful experience.
