Experience the beauty and adventure of Uganda’s largest and most iconic national park on this 2 Days Murchison Falls uganda Safari. Witness the mighty River Nile force its way through a narrow gorge before plunging 40 meters below, creating the thunderous Murchison Falls. This short yet unforgettable safari also includes rhino tracking, thrilling game drives, and a scenic boat cruise along the Nile.
Your adventure begins early in the morning as your safari guide picks you up from Kampala or Entebbe. Drive north toward Murchison Falls National Park, with a stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for an exciting on-foot rhino tracking experience. This is the only place in Uganda where you can see wild rhinos, and it also offers great birdwatching opportunities.
Continue your journey to Masindi for lunch before proceeding to Murchison Falls National Park. Upon arrival, visit the Top of the Falls, where the Nile squeezes through a 7-meter-wide gorge and crashes 40 meters below, creating a breathtaking sight and roaring sound.
