Murchison Falls 3 Day Exclusive Safari Tour, Uganda

An exclusive safari gives your group sole use of our tour vehicle and driver guide, meaning that you can book the safari for the dates that suit you. It also gives you the flexibility to adjust our suggested itinerary below, according to your individual needs or preferences. Just get in touch with any ideas that you might have and we will see if we can make it work!  Other options to consider in Murchison include hiking up to the top of the falls from the waterfall cruise, an additional boat cruise to the Nile Albert Delta (great for bird watching) and chimp tracking.

 

Tour Details

Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda’s oldest and largest conservation area, covering an area of 3,840 Km² .  It is home to over 451 bird species (including the highly sought after and rare shoebill stork) and 76 different mammal species.  Game sightings regularly include lion, elephant, hippo, leopard, buffalo, hyena, warthog and various antelope. Arguably the highlight of this trip however is the mighty River Nile, which bisects the park and is forced through an 8m wide cleft in the rock at Murchison Falls, plunging into the Devil’s Cauldron below.
