4 Days Fly-In Murchison Falls Safari Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Entebbe – Fly to Murchison Falls National Park
Upon arrival at Entebbe International Airport, you will be met by your professional safari guide who will assist you in transferring to the domestic terminal for your scheduled flight to Pakuba Airstrip or Bugungu Airstrip in Murchison Falls National Park. The scenic 1-hour flight offers breathtaking aerial views of Lake Kyoga, the Albert Nile, and Uganda’s vast wilderness.
On arrival, your driver-guide will meet you and transfer you to your lodge for check-in and lunch. Later in the afternoon, embark on your first game drive, where you’ll have the chance to spot elephants, giraffes, lions, antelopes, and herds of buffalo grazing along the open savannah. As the sun sets, return to your lodge to unwind and enjoy dinner overlooking the river.

Day 2: Morning Game Drive & Afternoon Nile Boat Cruise
Start your day with a cup of coffee before setting out for a morning game drive on the northern bank of the Nile. The park’s plains come alive at sunrise, with predators like lions and leopards returning from their night hunts while elephants and giraffes begin to roam. Expect to see a variety of wildlife including oribis, Jackson’s hartebeests, and the elusive Uganda kob.
Return to your lodge for a late breakfast and leisure time before heading out for an afternoon boat cruise along the Nile. The cruise takes you upstream to the base of the thunderous Murchison Falls — where the Nile squeezes through a 7-meter gorge before plunging 45 meters into a roaring cauldron below. Along the way, watch hippos wallow in pods, crocodiles sunbathe on the riverbanks, and colorful kingfishers dart across the water.
For the more adventurous, an optional hike to the top of the falls offers panoramic views and the chance to feel the spray of the world’s most powerful waterfall up close.

This tranquil section of the park is famous for its abundant birdlife, including the rare and sought-after Shoebill Stork, African fish eagles, and colorful bee-eaters.
Alternatively, you may choose to spend your day relaxing at your lodge, taking in the sights and sounds of the wild, or visiting a nearby community to experience Uganda’s rich culture. The evening is perfect for sundowners by the pool or a quiet moment on your private deck overlooking the Nile.
