Detailed 3-Day Murchison Falls Safari Itinerary
Day 1: Transfer to Murchison Falls National Park
Your guide will pick you up and begin the drive to Murchison Falls National Park. Stop in Masindi for lunch at Masindi Hotel or at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, the oldest hotel in Uganda. Continue to the park and visit the top of the falls, where the Nile squeezes through a narrow gorge before dropping into the valley below. Proceed to your lodge for dinner and overnight.
Optional activity: Visit Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary (USD 60 per person) before entering the park.
Day 2: Game Drive & Boat Cruise
After an early breakfast, join a morning game drive lasting about 3-4 hours. Spot elephants, Rothschild giraffes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, and many bird species.
Return to the lodge for lunch. In the afternoon, take a boat ride to the bottom of the falls. This cruise along the Nile offers the best chance to see hippos, crocodiles, water birds, and sometimes the rare shoebill stork. It is an amazing experience and a highlight of the trip.
Day 3: Game Drive & Departure
After breakfast, head out for another morning game drive focused on finding animals you may have missed, including the remaining Big Five. After the safari, return to Kampala, arriving in the evening in time for your flight.
