3-Day Murchison Falls National Park Tour

In the morning, you can choose between a game drive or a rhino tracking adventure in the nearby Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch. You can also (optionally) choose to go for chimpanzee trekking in Budongo Forest or take a boat cruise to the delta area of the Nile Rive.  After your morning activity, you drive back to Entebbe or Kampala. This is the end of your trip. We hope you had a fantastic time!

Game drive – morning

After breakfast, you will drive once again to the delta area for the safari. This morning is dedicated to different safari tracks to discover even more of the park. Naturally, your guide will also go looking for predators if they were not spotted during the game drive.

Boat safari Delta Lake Albert (optional)

In addition to the regular boat safari to the waterfall, it is also possible to take a boat safari through the delta area in this park. The delta area is located where the Victoria Nile flows into Lake Albert and subsequently into the Albert Nile. This delta area looks like a smaller version of the famous Okavango Delta (Botswana) and is teeming with wildlife, such as hippos, crocodiles, and bathing elephants. This boat safari is also a dream for bird lovers. Special birds such as the Saddle-billed Stork, the African Giant Kingfisher, and the prehistoric-looking Shoebill are regularly spotted.

Chimpanzee Trekking in Budongo Forest (Optional)

Budongo Forest is a southern extension of Murchison Falls National Park. It is one of Africa’s best and most underrated chimp tracking destinations. It is home to over 700 wild chimpanzees. Today, you can enjoy a walk through this tropical forest, in search of the habituated chimpanzee family. Your guide will explain to you more about the animals and plants species that you encounter on your way. As you tread along the forest paths, keep your eyes peeled for the majestic Black-and-White Colobus Monkeys, lively Red-tailed Monkeys, and an array of vibrant bird species. The hike typically spans 2 to 4 hours, adapting to the movement of the chimpanzees as they traverse their natural habitat. Upon locating the chimps, marvel at their behaviors as you spend an unforgettable hour observing them in their natural habitat. Watch in awe as they eat, rest, and play, offering you a rare glimpse into their daily lives amidst the lush surroundings of Budongo Forest.

Ziwa Rhino Tracking (Optional)

On your way back to Kampala / Entebbe, you make a stop at Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch. It is the best place to see wild rhinos in Uganda. You adventure will start with a briefing. After that, you enter the ranch by car. Then, you walk the final stretch to a group of rhinos – that makes the experience at Ziwa extra special. And don’t worry: you will have a ranger with you. They know the animals inside out. Rhinos are enormous; an adult male weighs more than 2,000 kilos. When you spot them up close during your walk, that is when you truly see how big they are. Despite their size, rhinos are seen by most people as very likeable animals. If you look closely into their eyes, there is something moving about them. You see a very strong, large animal. But also a super vulnerable animal. The trek to the rhinos takes about 2 hours and you spend one hours with them.
