Day One: We depart Kampala early in the
morning through the verdant Ugandan countryside with its idyllic small town and
villages through Luwero and Masindi toward Murchison Falls National Park - the
largest wildlife reserve in Uganda.
Our stop off at the top of the falls for lunch
and enjoy our packed lunch taking a look at this most
awesome sight of the Nile tumbling down 43 meters through a
7 meter gorge, the ground shaking because of the sheer power
of Nature.
Depending on your choice of lodging - we
cross the River Nile by vehicle ferry to the Paraa side of the park.
Choice of lodging available - Murchison Falls National Park. Budget - to Up-Market.
Lunch at the Lodging you have chosen
Late Afternoon Wildlife Game Drive -This is not a hurried
event, but you slowly drive along the lake into the savannah
and usually it will be about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Sights,
sounds, and of course a most wonderful sunset as you return
to your lodging facility for a delightful dinner.
Day Two: An early breakfast and then off to
a second game drive. Guiding you to where the animals
are so that you have the best opportunity for viewing and
picture taking. There is nothing like seeing some lion
cubs with their mother, Giraffes grazing and Elephants
moving across the savannah. You return to the lodging
facility for rest and lunch.
After lunch it is one of the
highlights of your Murchison Falls National Park Safari, the
boat launch trip on the Nile. You will move up toward
Murchison Falls viewing crocodiles, an abundance of hippos,
elephants, buffaloes, antelopes, lots of birds including the
fish eagle, storks and so much more. The boat moves gently
up the river, it is best to take some water along
since it can get warm.
The Falls are an
awesome display of the power of nature. The river is
50 meters above the falls, moves down through a 7 meter
gorge and falls down 43 meters, the sound is deafening and
the sight makes one realize how powerful nature can be.
Nearby is a bank
filled with Nile crocodiles basking in the afternoon sun,
just down from there you can see a group of hippos
frolicking in the water of the Nile.
The journey down river
slowly begins and more opportunity for viewing animals
before you return to your lodging for dinner and an evening
of rest and relaxations .

it and of course you will encounter other wildlife besides
the Mountain Gorillas.
