Trip Overview

The 4-Day Murchison Falls Tour is a big five safari adventure to Murchison Falls National Park. Murchison Falls National Park stretches from mid-western to northern Uganda and it is very diverse. The park is home to four of the big five mammals. These include lions, buffaloes, leopards, and elephants.

On this 4-Day Murchison Falls Tour, you will however see all the big five mammals with a stop at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for rhino tracking. The Sanctuary is located in Nakasongola and is home to white rhinos and many other wildlife species. You will have a stopover here on your to Murchison for on-foot rhino tracking.

The 4-Day Murchison Falls safari Tour is even more enjoyable with the boat cruises. They include one to the bottom of Murchison Falls and another to the Nile Delta. Here you will Journey along the great River Nile viewing the various wildlife species on the River banks. Nile Crocodiles, Hippos, and elephants are some of the animals you will spot here. The Nile River having a waterfall and a delta in its early stages is a very rare occurrence in River systems. Even better, the waterfall forms a permanent rainbow that is seen on a hot day. A visit to these spots makes you truly appreciate that Uganda is indeed the Pearl of Africa.

Murchison Falls, game drives, and all the wildlife encounters are outstanding and exclusive. The nature walk in Budongo forest is also a game changer as you get to explore the primate world as well. We highly recommend this Discovery Journeys adventure for remarkable Savana wildlife experiences in Uganda.
