Itinerary
Our first destination is the marvellous game reserve, Murchison Falls National Park. On the journey to the park, we can’t resist stopping by Ziwa rhino sanctuary where the endangered wild rhinos were first reintroduced into Uganda. With a seasoned guide, we will track and observe these beautiful creatures that are a part of the “big five” family. After this appetizer for adventure, we continue to Murchison falls for an evening game drive and later check into our booked safari lodge in time for dinner.
Accommodation: Fort Murchison
Meal Plan: Full-Board
Wake up to an early morning breakfast and set out before the dew dries for a morning game drive. This is a good chance to spot lots of wild games as they arise to get on with their day. We return to the lodge for lunch and later in the afternoon, unwind with a boat cruise on the Nile while observing hippos and crocodiles at close quarters until we disembark at the base of Murchison falls. A scenic climb to the peak of the waterfalls will reveal magnificent views of the Nile winding through the sprawling park in the light of the setting sun. We then return to a sumptuous meal and rest at Murchison River Lodge.
Accommodation: Fort Murchison

After breakfast, we embark on our journey to Kibale national park. The stunning views we glimpse on the road only hint at the beauty of our next destination. We will get a lunch stop in Fort Portal, a divine land nested in the shadow of the fabled “Mountains of the Moon.” We press on to the dense forest of Kibale National Park, arriving at the lodge in time for dinner.
Accommodation: Kibale Forest camp

We will set out to the park headquarters for a briefing on the chimpanzee tracking activity that will also bring us up close with other primates of the forest. We return to the lodge for a warm lunch and a few minutes of relaxation before setting out to the Bigodi swamp for a scenic nature walk and birding.

We will emerge from the depths of the forest to the lush green hills that cradle the picturesque crater lakes under a crisp blue sky. After gorging on the incredible scenery, we hike along Lake Nkuruba to meet Mahoma Falls. We journey through the villages and delve deeper into the culture and customs of our hosts, the Batooro, before returning to our lodge for dinner.
