Detailed 2 day Murchison Falls Trip Itinerary

Day 1: Kampala – Murchison Falls National Park

You will begin the 2 days Murchison Falls trip with an early pick up at 0630hrs. This will be followed by a briefing on this 2 day Uganda safari tour by our representative.

Depart driving northward to Murchison Falls National Park through Masindi. You may opt to add to the 2 days Murchison Falls trip at an extra cost the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. This is a large preserve where Rhinos are bred in an effort to restock Murchison Falls National Park.

The last Rhinos was shot in 1982. Uganda had to get help to bring back this large animals to Ugandan National Parks.

Proceed to Murchison and as you enter the park go the top of the falls. This is what makes Murchison Falls National Park so famous. This is a place for most memorable pictures and a taking in of the sounds and sights.

They include the rainbow that does not disappear. It is created by the mist of the falls. The top of the fall is spectacular and the feeling of being here is just out of this world. You will hear the roar and see the splendor from the top which is such a wonderful experience.

Murchison Falls is “A sneak peek into Heaven”, here you realize “the anger of the Nile”. It’s a true master piece of nature. In a small space, a million cubic meters of water from the Nile squeeze themselves through the Albertine gorge as they make their way towards Egypt.

The river is 50 meters wide and goes through a 7 meter wide gorge plunging down 45 meters. This creates that roaring sound that will stay with you.  An experience you will never forget and there is something about standing alongside the mighty River Nile. Later drive to the lodge and check in at Sambiya River Lodge in time for lunch.

A short rest will prepare you for the major highlight of Murchison Falls National Park, the boat cruise. You will embark on a motorized boat ride on the Nile River to the most powerful falls in the world.

Along the way you get to see crocodiles and the many schools of hippos along the bank and in the river. There are also the birds, monkeys, buffaloes, elephants and so much more.

The major point of attraction will be the bottom of the falls. It is one of the best wildlife experiences in Uganda. You can also choose to do the hike from the water’s edge up to the top of the falls. This is if you were not able to do it on the day of arrival into the park.

Later on return to the land, you will embark on a short (1 or 1½ hrs) game drive. This will depend on the time you return back and the energy reserve you got after the cruise. Just remember that no game game drive is the same in nature, whether short or long….they are all different. Return to Sambiya River Lodge in time for dinner and a well-deserved rest.
