Detailed 2 days Murchison Falls Safari Itinerary

Day 1: Kampala to Murchison Falls National Park – Top of the Falls & Boat Cruise

Your 2 days Murchison Falls Safari begins early in the morning with pickup from your hotel in Kampala by your professional driver-guide. The drive to Murchison Falls National Park takes approximately 5 to 6 hours, passing through beautiful Ugandan countryside and farmlands.

En route, you will make a stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for an exciting rhino trekking experience (on foot with experienced rangers). This is the only place in Uganda where you can see white rhinos in their natural habitat.

After a quick lunch in Masindi town, you enter the park via Kichumbanyobo Gate. Enjoy an afternoon game drive while heading to the lodge. Look out for Uganda kob, hartebeest, waterbuck, warthogs, olive baboons, and possibly elephants or giraffes.

In the late afternoon, you will visit the Top of Murchison Falls for spectacular views where the Nile River squeezes through a 7-meter-wide gorge and plunges 43 meters below with thunderous power.

Later, relax at your lodge before enjoying a delicious dinner with possible views of the Nile.

Accommodation Options (1 Night):

• Luxury: Paraa Safari Lodge
• Midrange: Pakuba Safari Lodge or Nile Safari Lodge
• Budget: Red Chili Rest Camp

Day 2: Morning Game Drive & Boat Safari – Return to Kampala

After an early breakfast, you will head out for a morning game drive on the northern bank of the Nile. This is one of the best times to see wildlife. Expect excellent chances of spotting elephants, Rothschild giraffes, lions, buffaloes, leopards (rare), and a variety of antelopes and birds.

You will then proceed to Paraa Jetty for the highlight of the trip — a 3-hour boat cruise along the Victoria Nile to the base of Murchison Falls. This cruise offers incredible close-up views of the falls plus abundant wildlife including large pods of hippos, basking crocodiles, and numerous water birds.

After the boat safari, you will have lunch at the lodge before beginning your return journey to Kampala. You will arrive in the evening with unforgettable memories of Uganda’s wild north.
