Overview

This 3 Days Murchison Falls Adventure Safari takes you to Murchison Falls National Park, a park renown for its scenic beauty and the spectacular falls from which the park gets its name. Murchison Falls National Park has abundant flora and fauna to delight the visitor. From rolling savannah and tall grasslands to thick bush and woodlands, the diversity of this park never ceases to amaze visitors and residents alike. No visit to Murchison Falls National Park would be complete without a visit to the magnificent falls. They can be viewed from the top where the Nile River narrows from 50 meters to crash through a 7 meter gorge, falling 45 meters to the rocks below. The three-hour cruise to the base of the falls is unforgettable. One can experience the majesty of the Nile while on board, viewing abundant wildlife along the river banks.

While on the game drives, Cape buffalo, Rothschild’s giraffe, Uganda Kob, hartebeest and waterbuck are commonly seen. You may also spot oribi, bushbuck, Bohor reedbuck, shy sitatunga, bush duiker, warthog and bush pig. Large carnivores include lion, leopard and spotted hyena. Chimpanzees and olive baboons head the list of six species of primates found in the park. Crocodile and hippo will be seen along the banks of the Nile. Some of the more common birds that can be seen include Goliath heron, Egyptian geese, pelican, bee-eaters, kingfishers, hornbills, cormorant, saddle-bill stork and the rare Shoebill stork.
