Pick up time for the safari is set at 7 am, and the location is either around Kampala or Entebbe. The tour guide shall pick you up from your hotel and travel to Murchison Falls. You will take the Kampala – Gulu road, a smooth, tarmacked (paved) road, and by around mid-day, you will be in Masindi town. 

Stop over for lunch and thereafter continue the journey, and in less than an hour, reach the southern entrance of the Murchison Falls park. 

Check-in with the park staff and continue into the park driving on the dirt through the dense Budongo Forest. You will be welcomed by hundreds of baboons lined along the road. However, endeavour to keep the windows closed as the baboons will be attracted to snatch items from the car. For bird lovers, be on the lookout for some species. Wood doves hover in front of the car, and the Saddle-billed Stork is a common sight along the road. Enjoy panoramic views across the thick forest. 

You shall get to the ferry to cross over the Nile and transfer to your accommodation, where you shall spend the rest of the evening relaxing.

You should be up by 6.00 am, take a quick cup of coffee or tea with a snack to warm your tummy and set out for the early morning game drive. Murchison Falls National Park is divided by River Nile into the south and northern region. The northern part, largely covered by savannah and woodland, supports a lot more volume and variety of animals than the southern region, which has a bigger chunk covered by forest. For that matter, therefore, the game drives are done in the northern area of Murchison Falls. The early start offers a better chance to find elusive predators such as lions, Hyenas, Leopards, and Jackal because they are still actively hunting. Explore the game trails towards the Lake Albert delta, which is concentrated with big games such as Elephants, Buffaloes, Giraffes, and many Antelope. Enjoy the beautiful savannah landscape immersed with plenty of life and wonderful scenery. The game drive will last 4 hours, and you will return to the lodge for breakfast and relax. 

After lunch, set out for a 2-hour Launch Cruise (boat safari) on River Nile, which sets off at Paraa, going upstream to the base of the Murchison Falls. The boat ride offers an array of wildlife sightings. Crocodiles, Hippos, and lizards are a common sight throughout the cruise. Big games such as Buffaloes, Elephants and Antelopes can also be sighted, drinking and cooling off the heat by the river banks. 

On getting to the bottom of the Murchison Falls, leave the boat and set out for a 45-minute hike of rocks adjacent to the Murchison falls, thereby accessing great views of the falls at different spots along the trail. 

On reaching the top, you will find the tour guide waiting to drive you back to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, check out and leave for Kampala/Entebbe.

 You shall make a stopover in Nakasongola for your lunch. 

The tour guide shall drop you off at your hotel to mark the end of the safari.
