Let Travel Hype Adventures take you on a journey through Uganda’s wild spaces, guided by locals who know the land and its stories.
Day 1: Transfer to Murchison Falls via Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary
Your guide will meet you in Entebe or Kampala for your journey to Murchison Falls National Park. On the way, you’ll stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, the only place in Uganda where you can see rhinos in the wild. Take a guided walk to track these amazing animals and learn about their conservation.
After the rhino visit, continue your drive to the park. Arrive at your lodge, settle in, and enjoy dinner in a peaceful natural setting.
Day 2: Game Drive and Boat Safari
Start the day with an early morning game drive through the northern section of the park. Look out for elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, lions, leopards, and more. Your guide will help you spot the animals and explain their behavior along the way.
In the afternoon, take a boat cruise along the Nile River to the base of Murchison Falls. Watch for hippos, crocodiles, and birds along the riverbanks. The cruise ends with a close-up view of the powerful falls crashing through the rocks.
Return to the lodge for dinner and rest.
Day 3: Hike to the Top of Murchison Falls & Return
After breakfast, enjoy a short hike to the top of Murchison Falls. Feel the strength of the water as the Nile squeezes through a narrow gap and drops down below. It’s one of the most exciting sights in Uganda.
Later, begin the journey back to Kampala or Entebbe, arriving in the evening. Your guide will drop you off at your hotel or airport, marking the end of your safari.
