2-Day Murchison Falls Safari
Experience the wild heart of Uganda on this unforgettable 2-day safari to Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s largest and oldest national park.
From the powerful Nile River to sweeping savannahs alive with wildlife, Murchison Falls offers an incredible mix of **game drives, river adventures and breathtaking scenery . Watch elephants and giraffes roam the plains, spot hippos and crocodiles along the Nile, and keep your eyes open for lions, leopards and Uganda’s spectacular birdlife.
At the heart of it all is the magnificent **Murchison Falls, where the mighty Nile is forced through a narrow gorge before plunging 45 metres below — a dramatic display of nature’s raw power.

Your adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel and a scenic journey towards Murchison Falls National Park, with a lunch stop in Masindi Town.
In the afternoon, set out on a boat cruise along the Nile towards the base of Murchison Falls. Along the way, look out for hippos, crocodiles, elephants and an abundance of waterbirds.
Drive to the Top of Murchison Falls, where the Nile thunders through a narrow 7-metre gorge before plunging 45 metres below. Feel the spray, hear the roar and take in one of Uganda’s most spectacular natural sights.
After the day’s adventures, transfer to your hotel for an overnight stay. (Hotel- Heritage Safari Lodge)
DAY 2: Morning Game Drive & Return to Kampala
Rise early for a morning game drive, when Uganda’s wildlife is at its most active. Explore the park’s vast savannahs in search of lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes and, with some luck, leopards and hyenas.
The drive takes you through several circuits, including the Delta Point, where the Nile meets Lake Albert — a beautiful area known for both wildlife and birdwatching.
After the game drive, begin your journey back to Kampala, arriving in the evening with two unforgettable days of wildlife, adventure and the extraordinary beauty of Murchison Falls.
