• After an early breakfast, tour the northern section of Murchison, which has a high concentration of savannah wildlife. Enjoy game viewing and photography of elephants, buffalo, waterbucks, giraffes, Uganda kobs, and lions, plus leopards if you are lucky, along with a variety of bird species. Return to your accommodation for lunch, then go for the boat trip to the base of the falls. This trip is said to be the highlight of the safari in Murchison Falls, since it allows you to get up close to the animal species within the water. Cruise past huge hippo pods, crocodiles, bathing buffalo, and numerous aquatic birds adorning the north bank on the way to the mighty waterfalls.
• You will have an opportunity to take thousands of pictures, so carry your camera with you if you like. You may also proceed for a hike to the top of the falls, which is optional. The hike is strenuous, but the thrill of reaching the top is unforgettable. Miss it only if you must. Return to your accommodation thereafter.
