Day 01 Arrival – Rhino Tracking – Murchison Falls

Arrive at Entebbe Airport and meet your guide. Drive to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for rhino tracking, then continue to Murchison Falls National Park. Visit the top of the falls—where the Nile crashes 43 meters through a narrow gorge, creating mist and rainbows.

If time allows, enjoy an optional hike to the bottom of the falls (USD 10 per person), then proceed for a short evening game drive en route to your lodge.

Meals and overnight at: Leosim Hotel / Red Chilli Rest Camp / Kalalo Cottage Inn.

Day 02 Morning Game Drive – Boat Cruise – Travel to Fort Portal

Start the day with an early morning game drive to spot lions, elephants, giraffes, leopards, hippos, and more. Enjoy bird watching and scenic views across the savannah and riverbanks.

Return to the lodge for lunch, then take a relaxing 3-hour boat cruise on the Nile to see the base of Murchison Falls. Look out for hippos, crocodiles, antelopes, and water birds.
