Murchison Falls: 4-Day Safari with Rhinos and Chimpanzees

Enjoy a game drive, a boat Cruise and scenic views from the top of the falls at the Murchison Falls National Park. Visit the ZZiwa Rhino Sanctuary for a trek. Chimpanzee trekking at Budongo forest.
Murchison Falls National Park
The park is popularly known for and was named after the breathtaking Murchison Falls, a major safari highlight.

The falls, also called Kabalega in the local dialect, are one of the greatest in Africa. The Nile River passes through many miles of rapids before narrowing to a width of about 20 feet and dropping about 400 feet in a series of three cascades. The initial fall of 130 feet is generally recognised as Murchison Falls.

The best way to get a close-up view of the falls is to embark on a boat cruise, which will take you to the base of these majestic falls. En route, keep an eye out for the various animals like crocodiles and hippos in the waters and along the shores.

The hike to the top of the falls is a whole adventure on its own and one of the most enjoyable experiences of the safari.

The park is host to over 76 mammal species and 420 bird species. A game drive around the Savannah plains offers tourists an opportunity to view the park’s game, such as lions, leopards, hyenas, elephants, various kinds of antelopes, endangered Rothschild’s giraffe and many more.

Chimpanzee Trekking
Chimpanzee trekking is done in the Budongo forest, which is the largest natural rainforest in East Africa. The forest has a population of about 600 - 700 Chimpanzees. Trekking takes 3 hours - this includes trekking to the chimpanzee community and having a full hour to interact with the Chimpanzees.

Zziwa Rhino Sanctuary
Uganda's wild rhinos became extinct in the early 1980s. In 2005, six rhinos were reintroduced to Uganda at Ziwa Rhino Reserve. There are now 22 southern white rhinos, including nine baby rhinos. Through a Rhino Trekk, you will experience the majesty of these creatures up close.
