DETAILED DAY BY DAY PROGRAM
Day one:
You will be picked by our driver from your Hotel/Residence in Entebbe/Kampala and Depart from Kampala at 06:00am heading for the largest game park and reserve in Uganda through the Luwero Triangle, Nakasongola, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Masindi and Budongo Forest. You will branch off to the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, where you will encounter the territory of the southern white rhinos on foot. Well-trained rangers will guide you through the bush to where the rhinos are. You will get the opportunity to watch these endangered, magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. As these rhinos are free to move around on 7 000 hectares of land, it is often necessary to drive to the areas where the rhinos are, before taking the bush trek. This drive will be done in our vehicle. (What you need: Closed shoes, long pants, water and insect repellent)
You will later proceed and have a stop for lunch at Kabalega Dinners in Nakasongola. After lunch, you will head to Murchison Falls National Park, visit the top of the falls and then transfer to our safari lodge for Dinner and overnight accommodation.
Day two:
06:00am we set off for an early morning Game Drive. The game drive which lasts 4 to 5 hours in channel tracks will mainly be done around the mating grounds of open Savanna grass lands and Delta where, from its source, River Nile joins Lake Albert to form Albert Nile which proceeds to the Mediterranean Sea in Egypt, through Sudan. During the Game Drive Rothschild’s Giraffe, Cape Buffalos, lots of Uganda Kobs, Hartebeests, Elephants, and more other species including those of the cat family like Lions if lucky may be spotted, and lots of diverse bird species and Flora. After the game drive proceed to the Lodge for late breakfast and later early refreshing lunch
After Lunch, head for a 02:00pm boat cruise to the bottom of the Murchison Falls, for a clear view of the 43 meters thundering falls-. This boat trip along the Victoria Nile is often cited as being the highlight of a trip to Murchison Falls since it allows you to get up-close and personal with the animals. Along this stretch of the river, there are reported to be around 4,000 hippos in addition to some enormous Nile crocodiles and abundance of wildlife coming to drink from the river like elephants, giraffes, buffaloes and many others. The bird life is stunning with brightly colored kingfishers and bee-eaters darting along the riverbanks. If lucky, you may see the rare and prehistoric looking shoebill Stork, which is a cross between the dodo and a dinosaur. The boat takes you to the base of the falls which only adds to their impressiveness. It’s magical!
Later in the day we shall have another round of the game drive on the savannah plain to check out more wildlife viewing opportunities before checking into the lodge for refreshment, dinner, camp fire and overnight

Behind breakfast, we shall head back to the savannah for another round of the morning game drive to stand more chances of viewing some of the best wild African moments and later on we shall drive out of the park .We shall be having lunch in Masindi as we enroute to Kampala or our destination to close of the ultimate wild adventure in Uganda’s biggest national park and conservation area.
