This 4 days safari in Murchison falls gives you an opportunity to go rhino tracking, chimpanzee trekking, have a boat trip on the river Nile and game drives.
Day 1: Drive to Murchison Falls N.P
Your guide will pick you up from your hotel at 7:00 AM in the morning and you will drive to Murchison Falls National Park. Along the way, you will stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary where you can track rhinoceroses on foot.
After the rhino walk in Ziwa, you will continue to Murchison Falls National Park and arrive in the evening. You then check into your lodge and relax.
Day 2: Morning game drive & afternoon boat trip
We'll start the day early with breakfast before going to a morning game drive in Murchison Falls National Park. On this game drive, expect to see many wild animals such as lions, elephants, leopards, giraffes, buffaloes and much more.
You will return to the lodge for lunch and then go for the afternoon boat cruise on the river Nile leading you to the bottom of Murchison Falls. On the cruise, you will see many animals along the river bank including hippos, crocodiles and many more.
Your boat will come close to the bottom of the falls and experience the power of the Nile as the river squeezes through a 7-metre gap in the rock and plummets down 40 metres.
This is the world’s most powerful waterfalls and is said to be the greatest thing to ever happen to the Nile. You then drive to your lodge to retreat from the day’s activities.
Day 3: Chimpanzee tracking and evening game drive
After your early morning breakfast, we'll go to Kaniyo Pabidi forest for chimpanzee tracking. You will be briefed about the chimpanzee tracking by the park rangers and then you will enter the thick rainforest and search for chimpanzees.
You will get to learn a lot about chimpanzees and the ecosystems in which they live. On meeting the chimps, you will witness their habits and social structures that reveal how closely related chimps are to humans.
You will spend around 1 hour with the chimpanzees before heading out of the forest and back to the lodge for lunch and a break.
In the evening, you will go on a sunset cruise to the Nile delta and get to see even more wildlife along the river banks. You will see animals such as elephants, hippos, crocodiles as well many bird species including the rare shoebill stork.
