2 Days Murchison Falls Safari
Experience Uganda’s Wildlife and Majestic Waterfalls
Embark on an unforgettable Murchison Falls Safari, a thrilling two-day adventure to Uganda’s largest and most iconic national park. This short yet immersive journey includes a visit to the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, a boat ride on the Nile, and exhilarating game drives through the heart of the wild.
Day 1: Journey to Murchison Falls National Park
Your adventure begins early in Kampala with a scenic drive to Murchison Falls National Park. Along the way, you stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, the only place in Uganda where you can track wild rhinos on foot.
Pro Tip: A visit to Ziwa provides a chance to see the endangered white rhinos, part of Uganda’s “Big Five” conservation efforts.
After an exhilarating rhino trek, continue to Murchison Falls, where you witness the mighty waterfalls, famed for their thundering plunge into the Nile. The panoramic view from the top is breathtaking, making it a photographer’s paradise.
Afternoon Boat Safari on the Nile
In the afternoon, embark on a boat ride on the Nile, where hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of bird species await. Bird watchers can spot some rare species, making this a must-do activity for enthusiasts exploring 22 Days Bird Watching Safari.

Your evening is spent at a luxury or midrange lodge, enjoying a delicious dinner as the sounds of the wild echo around you.
Day 2: Morning Game Drive & Return to Kampala
Rise early for an exciting morning game drive. Murchison Falls National Park is home to an abundance of wildlife, including lions, leopards, elephants, and giraffes. You might even witness the elusive lions in Uganda on the prowl. The vast savannah and rolling landscapes provide stunning backdrops for safari photography.
After the game drive, begin your journey back to Kampala, stopping for lunch along the way. If time permits, a quick detour to the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre in Entebbe offers a final glimpse of Uganda’s diverse fauna.
