About This Trip

What to Expect

This safari pairs the dramatic scenery of Murchison Falls — where the Nile forces itself through a narrow gorge — with rhino tracking at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Uganda's only sanctuary for the species. Murchison Falls National Park is the country's largest and most wildlife-rich, with game drives offering sightings of elephant, lion, leopard, giraffe, and buffalo, and a Nile boat cruise to the base of the Falls adding both scenery and birdlife, including shoebill storks. It's a good fit for first-time safari travelers, photographers, and families wanting a high-impact trip in a short timeframe, with options to extend into chimpanzee trekking or a hot air balloon safari.
