5 Days Uganda Murchison and Big 5 safari

We begin your journey with a morning pickup from Entebbe or Kampala. Traveling north through the Luwero Triangle, we reach Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, the only home to wild rhinos in Uganda.

• Morning Activity: Guided on-foot tracking of Southern White Rhinos accompanied by expert rangers.
• Afternoon: Continue to Masindi for lunch before entering Murchison Falls National Park.
• Overnight: Scenic nature lodge within or adjacent to the park.

Witness the breathtaking spectacle where the entire Nile River squeezes through a narrow 7-meter gorge.

• Morning: Visit the Top of the Falls to feel the ground vibrate as the water plunges 43 meters down.
• Afternoon: Relax at your lodge or embark on an introductory game drive to spot Rothschild's giraffes and elephants.
• Overnight: Safari-centric lodge dining and relaxation.

Today focuses on the remaining four members of the Big Five: Lion, Leopard, Elephant, and Buffalo.

• Early Morning: Game drive in the northern sector's rolling plains. Expect to see large herds of buffalo, elephants, and various antelopes.
• Afternoon: A 3-hour boat cruise to the base of the falls. Observe massive Nile crocodiles, hippos, and vibrant birdlife along the riverbanks.
