This 1 night and 2 days wildlife safari to the mighty Murchison Falls National Park is the best Uganda wildlife safari tour to encounter the big five African animals.
Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda’s largest and arguably the most beautiful park with the falls themselves on the Nile River being the selling point for this Uganda tourist destination. Many travelers often say, “You will have not visited Murchison Falls National Park if you don’t have a walk on top of the Murchison Falls themselves”.
After leisure Breakfast as early as 6 am, you will embark on your journey to the Northern direction. You will drive through the beautiful green and dry plains of Nakasongola District until you arrive at Kichumbanyobo Gate down in the southern part of Murchison Falls National Park. You will then drive to the famous Murchison waterfalls to have a top view of the waterfalls.
While at this top point of the waterfalls, you will truly believe that this is something you have not encountered in a lifetime. Thousands and thousands of the Nile River water forced their way into a small 7-meter gorge forming rapid waterfalls falling about 43 meters above sea level. This is a breathtaking experience that you will live to tell the rest of your life.
After an experience with the Murchison waterfalls, you will then head up to the nearest restaurant for lunch before you go for your afternoon Boat cruise. The relaxing boat cruise starts as early as 2 pm from the docking site and goes for about 2-3 hours of wildlife encounters. While on the Boat, you will spot a lot of schools of Hippos yawning, Basking Crocodiles, Elephants quenching their thirst, and a variety of Birdlife. You will later return from the boat cruise and depending on the location of your lodge especially the lodges on the northern bank of the park; you will have an evening safari game drive as you head out to your accommodation for dinner and relaxation.
