3-Day Uganda Safari to Murchison Falls with Ziwa Rhino Trek

• Today, you will leave your hotel early at 6:00 am (depending on where you spent the night) with your driver-guide for Murchison Falls, travelling via Luwero, Nakasongola, and Masindi District. You can choose to have an early breakfast or carry snacks to eat along the way until you stop for lunch.
• After about 4 hours of driving, you will stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for rhino trekking. This is an exciting activity that gives you a close-up experience with the rhinos. It is a safe activity conducted with experienced ranger guides from the sanctuary. It also increases your chances of seeing the Big Five on this trip. Rhino trekking takes around 1 hour. The sanctuary is the new home for rhinos in the wild, since Uganda's rhinos in the parks were killed during the wars the country experienced after independence. The rhinos are bred here with plans to reintroduce them into the parks, specifically Murchison Falls National Park.
• After rhino trekking, you will stop for lunch at Kabalega Dinners.
• You will then proceed through Masindi District to Murchison Falls National Park and continue to your hotel or lodge, depending on availability at the time of the trip, with a short game drive along the way.
• After the game drive, you will drive to your pre-booked lodge late in the evening, where you will be welcomed and checked into your rooms on a full-board arrangement for two nights, including bed, breakfast, and dinner.
• Before you go to bed, you will discuss the next day's program with your driver-guide.

Total travel time, including the lunch stop and rhino trekking, is 12 hours.

• Today, you will have breakfast very early in the morning, around 5:45 am. At 6:15 am, you will set off with your driver-guide for an early morning game drive, which will last for close to 4 hours.
• Depending on the day's luck during the game drive, you will likely see elephants, side-striped jackals, hyenas, lions, a leopard, lots of Uganda kobs, waterbucks, Jackson's hartebeests, giraffes, oribis, buffaloes, and a variety of big and small birds.
• After the game drive, at around 11:00 am and depending on your arrangement, you will either drive back to the lodge for lunch, go to a chosen lodge, or find a suitable place to eat your packed lunch, which you should have ordered the night before. Your driver-guide will help organize this during dinner.
• At exactly 1:30 pm, after lunch, you will head for the jetty and board a boat for your launch cruise on the Victoria Nile, part of the world's longest river, the Nile. Depending on the day's luck, you will likely see Nile crocodiles, elephants, buffaloes, hippopotamuses, and lots of birds, and later visit the bottom part of Murchison Falls. The launch cruise lasts approximately 3 hours, starting at 2:00 pm.
• At about 5:00 pm, you will return from the boat cruise, where you will find your driver-guide waiting to drive you back to your lodge.

Accommodation will still be at the lodge where you stayed the previous night.

During dinner, you will discuss the next day's program with your driver-guide.

• After breakfast, you will immediately set off with packed lunch for Entebbe. You will arrive in Entebbe late in the evening.
