Safari Overview

This 3-day safari offers a glimpse into Uganda’s largest and most scenic national park — Murchison Falls National Park, covering 3,840 sq. km of rolling savannah, riverine forest, and grasslands. The park is bisected by the mighty River Nile, forming the northern and southern sectors and culminating in the dramatic Murchison Falls, where the Nile squeezes through an 8-meter-wide gorge.

Home to over 76 mammal species including lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and giraffes, as well as 451 bird species such as the Shoebill Stork, Goliath Heron, and Dwarf Kingfisher, Murchison offers unmatched game viewing and birding opportunities.

This adventure also includes rhino trekking at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, a boat cruise on the Nile River, and a visit to the Top of the Falls — making it one of the most rewarding short safaris in Uganda.
