Tour Overview
Murchison Falls National Park lies at the northern end of the Rift Valley. It is the largest protected area situated north of Masindi district and spanning the Victoria Nile. The Park is named after the dramatic Murchison falls where the river explodes violently through a narrow 7 m gap to fall a distance of 47m. The parks wildlife species attractions includes giraffes, Lions, Buffaloes, Uganda Kob, Elephant, Warthogs and an abundance of birds. These provide opportunity for excellent game drive.
Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1 : To Murchison Falls National Park For Afternoon Game Drive:
Location: Murchison Falls National Park Uganda
Accommodation: Lodge, Safari Lodge
Accommodation Name: Paraa Safari Lodge or Pakuba Safari Lodge
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
On this day, you will have your breakfast and transfer to Murchison Falls National Park. The drive will take you through Luwero triangle and Budongo forest in the western arm of the Rift Valley where you will also be rewarded with splendid views of the countryside.
You will arrive in the afternoon, have lunch and go for your afternoon game drive where you will expect to see elephant, buffalo, antelopes and giraffe and keep your fingers crossed for lion and leopard. The game track network converges at Delta Point where the Nile flows north out of Lake Albert; this is a convenient place to stop for refreshments and view water birds offshore and distant hippos.
After your Afternoon game drive, you will check in to Paara Safari Lodge or Pakuba Safari Lodge for your relaxation, dinner and overnight stay. The lodge is located in the north-west of Uganda overlooking one of nature's best kept secrets, the River Nile, on its journey from its source at Lake Victoria to join Lake Albert — here it is suddenly channelled into a gorge only six meters wide, and cascades 43 meters below. The earth literally trembles at Murchison Falls - one of the world's most powerful flows of natural water. Paraa Safari Lodge offers a unique blend of comfort, relaxation and adventure. Each of the rooms is a haven of style and serenity, complete with balcony and private bathroom.
All meals and enough drinking water are included.
Day 2 : Game Drive & Boat Safari On Victoria Nile:
Location: Murchison Falls National Park Uganda
Accommodation: Safari Lodge
Accommodation Name: Paraa Safari Lodge or Pakuba Safari Lodge
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
On this day, your safari breakfast will be served before the day breaks so that you can start your morning game drive as the sun comes up. Sunrise is the best time for wildlife spotting as animals tend to be the most active during the “golden hours”, when the first rays of sunshine come to rest on the savannah. Elephants, buffalo and several species of antelope are some characters you may come across today, & if you’re lucky, you may even spot a lion or leopard.
You will return for lunch in the afternoon & go for a 3-hours boat safari upstream on the Victoria Nile to the falls where you will pass by breathtaking scenery, as well as many crocodiles, hundreds of hippos, buffaloes, water birds, monkeys & other animals that come down to the Nile. The boat will drop you near the waterfall for your hike (1-1.5 hours) up to the top of the falls (optional at additional cost of $15 pp).
After your boat safari, you will return to Paara Safari Lodge or Pakuba Safari Lodge for relaxation, dinner and overnight stay in self-contained rooms or cottages with private bathroom facilities.
All meals and enough drinking water included.

Location: Entebbe
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
On this day, you will enjoy your last sunrise and breakfast in this beautiful National Park in Uganda with a walk to top of Murchison Falls for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
