Murchison Falls
This trip safari takes you to Murchison falls, Uganda’s thunder that roars. The action here is, without doubt, the Victoria Nile that plunges 45M over the ruminant valley wall, creating the thundering Murchison falls. It is Uganda’s largest and oldest park hosting 76 species of mammals and over 451 birds. This package rewards the best wildlife safari experience in Uganda.

Day 2: Game and Boat Cruise- Murchison falls
Go for an early morning game drive and here, you may see elephant, Lion, buffalo, giraffe, hartebeests and many more. After lunch, enjoy a boat trip on the placid Victoria Nile, upstream to the base of the Falls. En route you will see hippos, crocodiles, waterbuck and a wide variety of birds like the unusual shoebill stork. The boat stops just tens of meters from the “Devil’s Cauldron”. Take pictures of the photogenic and majestic Murchison Falls. Descend from the boat and hike to the top of Murchison falls. The hike starts right off at baker’s point, where Sir Samuel Baker, a famous explorer of the time, stood. This hike might take between forty-five minutes to one and half hours, depending on how big the group is or how fit everyone is. There is a long stretch of steps that you will keep ascending until you reach the top. Yaaay you made it! Top of the falls. Here you will forget all the pain and toiling through the endless steps celebrating your victory with a glass of chilled wine & snacks served by our guide at the top of the falls. Camera clicks, selfies and then you enjoy a leisurely game-drive back to the lodge. Dinner and Overnight at Paraa lodge. B.L.D
