A 4 day safari which starts and finishes in Kampala. This safari can
also be done on a private basis. It can also be done as an extension to Classic Rwanda and Uganda.
Murchison Falls National Park with the meandering Victoria Nile and the dramatic Murchison Falls
is Uganda’s largest protected area, providing a stunning semi arid habitat for a variety of
wildlife including elephant, buffalo, giraffe and lion. The launch trip to the bottom of the Falls is
unforgettable, both to experience this mighty river and to see the crocodiles, hippos and birds that
bask on its banks. In the nearby Budongo Forest track chimpanzees and go bird watching.
On safari clients stay 3 nights at Nile Camp/Paraa.
This safari can also be done as an extension to Classic Rwanda and Uganda.
