Day 1 – Travel to Murchison Falls Park:
Depart Kampala on your Murchison Falls Park Wildlife Safari at 6:30 am heading for the largest National Park in Uganda – Murchison Falls Park. It is 6 hours from Kampala, but the trip is well worth the drive. There are lots to see as you head north through towns such as Luweero, Masindi, and see the green landscape, hamlets, villages, small towns, roadside vendors selling their food and drinks. It just does not get boring
At Murchison Falls Park we check into Pakuba Lodge after crossing the Nile by ferry.
Late afternoon we are off for the first game drive where you can see lions, elephants, giraffes, antelopes of all types, warthogs, buffaloes. There are also many Savanna Birds that you will come across
The vehicle has a pop-up roof so that you can stand and take better pictures. The windows are not closed and open fully. We do only private safaris, so the number of people depends on the size of your group.
Your Driver- Guide and a Uganda Wildlife Ranger will point out the animals that you might not miss them
Back to your lodging and there is nothing like a sunset over the Nile.

Day 2 – Murchison Falls Park:
Early morning breakfast and off you are for another game drive across the savanna, 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 Park 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 safari trip up the Nile River. You are 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 stays 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 before you is Murchison Falls – the most powerful waterfall in the World. The River Nile is 50 meters wide above the falls, moves down through a 6-meter gorge and falls 43 meters, the sound is loud, and the sight makes one realize how dynamic nature can be.
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 thousands of hippopotamus to be found here, birds in abundance.
At the bottom of the falls disembark and take the guided hike up along the most powerful waterfall in the world – Murchison Falls. You will be cooled down with some mist from the falls to keep you comfortable. At the top of the falls, you are met by your driver guide, and you will cross the Nile by ferry and head back for Fort Murchison for dinner and rest. This is the same trail that Winston Churchill used in 1907 when he visited the Falls and came down it
