7.15 Please be at the Red Chilli reception by 7.15am at the latest. Depart at 7.30am in a customised pop-top safari minibus with driver/guide (max 8 passengers per trip).

10.30 Arrive at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, home to 15 white rhinos, as well as 20 other species of wildlife. The rhinos roam freely on 3500 acres of land, although they are closely monitored 24 hours a day to protect them from poaching. Tracking and viewing the rhinos usually involves a short drive followed by 1.5 – 3 hours walking and viewing with a ranger. Closed shoes, long trousers and insect repellent are strongly recommended. Enjoy a picnic lunch after tracking and before proceeding to Murchison Falls National Park (please bring your own packed lunch or order from Red Chilli when booking your trip)

17.30 Arrive at Red Chilli Rest Camp on the south bank of the Nile at Paraa. Accommodation consists of safari tents with twin beds, including bedding and shared bathroom facilities (but not towels). Upgrades to ensuite bandas with solar hot water are available on request (please enquire for pricing/availability). Look out for our resident warthogs, hippo and other wildlife around the camp! Enjoy dinner and drinks around a camp fire when weather permits.

6.45 Depart for the ferry crossing to the North Bank, taking along a packed breakfast from Red Chilli. Enjoy a 4-hour game drive around the Buligi game tracks, which stretch between the Victoria and Albert Niles, and down to the Nile Delta. Most of the park’s game and birdlife can be viewed from here, though nothing is guaranteed!

11.00 Take the ferry back to the South Bank and enjoy lunch and a well-deserved break at Red Chilli Rest Camp.
