Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 – Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary & Transfer to Murchison Falls National Park

Your safari begins with a morning pick-up from Kampala where you will meet your professional safari guide. After a short briefing about the journey ahead, you will begin the drive north towards Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, the only place in Uganda where wild rhinos can be seen.

At Ziwa, you will participate in the exciting experience of tracking white rhinos on foot accompanied by trained rangers. The sanctuary protects over 7,000 hectares of natural habitat and is home not only to rhinos but also to antelopes, birds, and other wildlife.

The rhino population here started with only six animals in 2005 and has now grown to more than 40 individuals. The long-term conservation goal is to eventually reintroduce rhinos into Uganda’s national parks where they once lived.

After the rhino tracking experience and lunch, you will continue your journey to Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s largest and most spectacular national park.

In the evening, you will enjoy a game drive, when many animals are most active. This is an ideal time to observe predators beginning their nightly hunts while herbivores gather in open savannah areas.

After the game drive, you will check in at Heritage Safari Lodge for dinner and overnight.

Day 2 – Game Drive & Boat Cruise in Murchison Falls National Park

• Elephants

• Giraffes

• Buffaloes

• Lions

• Antelopes

• Various bird species

After returning to the lodge for lunch and relaxation, you will head out for an afternoon boat cruise on the Nile River towards the base of the famous Murchison Falls.

• Large pods of hippos

• Nile crocodiles basking in the sun

• Elephants and buffaloes coming to drink

• Numerous water birds

The boat will take you close to the base of the powerful Murchison Falls, where the Nile squeezes through a narrow gorge before plunging dramatically downstream.

After the cruise, you will return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

Here you will witness the Nile River forcefully squeezing through a narrow 7-meter gorge before plunging over 40 meters down the cliffs. The sound of the rushing water and the rising mist create a spectacular scene and an excellent opportunity for photographs.

After enjoying this breathtaking view, you will begin the journey back to Kampala, arriving in the afternoon.
