Day One:  Depart Kampala at 6:30 am heading for the largest game park and reserve in Uganda.    Drive through the lovely and verdant countryside, dotted with farms, banana gardens, along the roadside will be vegetables and fruit for sale, once in a while you will see  Uganda's version of a drive through fast food joints, except they run up to the windows selling meat or chicken on a skewer, water, drinks, hot cassava, roasted bananas etc. 

We drive through the town of Masindi where we will have lunch on the return trip and then turn off for our journey to Murchison Falls National Park. 

Arrive at your choice of lodging: Check our Murchison Falls Lodging Page.  Settle into your room and take a break from the journey with a nice lunch. 

After lunch we are off for the  first game drive where you will see lions, elephants, giraffes, antelopes of all types, warthogs, buffaloes. Murchison Falls Information here as to wildlife found here.

Back to your lodging, in some cases it means crossing the Nile by ferry, but there is nothing like a sunset over Nile.  Enjoy dinner, listen to the sounds of Africa in distance and sometimes nearby.

Day Two:  Early morning breakfast and off you are for another game drive across the savannah, along Lake Albert Delta, abundant wildlife as you move slowly as the sun rises.  Welcome to Africa.  What you are sensing and feeling, seeing around you cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world, this is Murchison Falls with its birds, lions, leopards, elephants, hippos, buffaloes, warthogs, giraffes, humorous appearing warthogs. This is Africa and you are on safari in the heart of it - Uganda.

After lunch it is one of the highlights of your Murchison Falls National Park Safari, the boat launch trip up the Nile River.  Slowly moving along the river bank 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 and stay on the left hand side so that you see most of the animals who come to the river.  Herds of Elephants cooling off, Hippopotamus frolicking, crocodiles just dozing in the African sun.

Then there are the Murchison Falls which are an awesome display of the power of nature.  The river is 50 meters above the falls, moves down through a 6 meter gorge and falls down 43 meters, the sound is deafening and the sight makes one realize how forceful nature can be.  The water at the bottom of the falls is churning, any vegetation is literally is mulched by the force of the water resulting in large sheets of foam, not from pollution but from the power of the river.

Close by there is a bank on the river 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.  There are literally thousands of hippopotamus to be found here, birds in abundance.

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, don't miss spotting some storks, eagles, egrets and many other birds, there are also a variety of primates to be found on the shores.  Enjoy the Nile.

Dinner and another night in the wilds of Africa.

Day 3:  Morning and breakfast and then we get ready for the move to Budongo Forest, stopping first at the top of the falls where the earth literally shakes from the power of the falls, where you can see a rainbow generated by the mist of the falls.  There is a path down  and it certainly is an experience that you will remember for a long time.

Onward to Budongo Forest which is a part of the vast Murchison Falls and check into Budongo Eco Lodge where you will find budget dormitory or moderate priced rooms.  A lovely sanctuary in the forest.
