5 days Murchison Falls National Park Safari offers an amazing wildlife safari experience to visitors interested in visiting Uganda’s largest national park to the fullest. This also happens to be a Big 5 Game Safari, where you will get to meet rhinos at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, lions, leopards, buffaloes, and elephants, all to be found on a game drive in Murchison Falls National Park. A boat cruise along the Nile Delta to the Murchison Falls is amazing. Then drive to Budongo Forest for chimpanzee trekking before driving back to Kampala.

Hence, return to the lodge for lunch and get ready for the afternoon boat cruise on the Nile to the base of Murchison Falls, stopping just tens of meters off the “Devil’s Cauldron.” Lots of bird species, like Egyptian goose, Goliath heron, pelican bee-eater, hornbill, cormorant, kingfisher, and many others, will be spotted.
