Day 1 :

Kampala – Murchison Falls National Park

Depart Kampala very early in the morning with the driver and guide of Equatorial wild Safaris driving south through the verdant Ugandan countryside to Murchison Falls National Park near the scenic Karuma Falls. Our first stop of the day is Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. We disembark and continue our Journey on foot with the guide in order to get into close proximity of the Rhinos in the wild of Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary which covers many areas and is not only home to Rhinos but to a lot of other wildlife, birds including the elusive Shoe-bill Stork. There are swamps, nature trails, you can take a canoe ride and literally spend all day. Most come here to track Rhinos on foot.

It is amazing time to see these massive animals so close and there are some great opportunities for picture-taking and most visitors get some great shots of the Rhinos in Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary.

After our time with the Rhinos at Ziwa Rhino sanctuary we continue the short drive from here to your Lodge inside Murchison Falls National Park where we check-in around lunch-time. After lunch it is off to one of the major highlights of Murchison Falls National Park, motorized boat ride on the Nile River to the most powerful falls in the world, viewing crocodiles, the many hippos along the bank and in the river, the birds, monkeys, buffaloes, elephants and so much more and of course the bottom of the falls. It is one of the best wildlife experiences in Uganda. Return to the lodge for dinner and a well deserved rest.

Dinner and overnight at Chobe Safari Lodge for High-end or Fort Murchison for Mid-range or Red Chilli Rest Camp for Budget-end. Meal Plan: Dinner

Day 2 :

Murchison Falls National Park - Kampala/departure

Enjoy a cup of coffee and you are off for your morning game drive – or enjoy breakfast before the morning game drive – the choice is yours – Game drives can be started at 6:30 am and you can see the morning mist on the Savannah as Sun rises for another day in the African Wild of Uganda at Murchison Falls National Park.

The four-wheel drive safari vehicle is equipped with a pop-up roof for best game viewing and on a game drive we always use a Uganda Wildlife Authority Ranger to enhance your time on a game drive which results in more wildlife sightings and great background to the habits and ways of the wildlife found on a game drive. Return to your lodge for lunch and thereafter drive back to Kampala or Entebbe arriving in the early evening in the city that never sleeps.
