Day 2: Fly to Murchison Falls National Park – Afternoon Game Drive
After an early breakfast, transfer to Entebbe Airport for your scheduled flight to Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s largest and most spectacular park. Your guide will meet you on arrival and transfer you to your luxury lodge overlooking the Nile River.
After lunch, head out for your first game drive across the northern savannah plains, where elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, lions, and antelopes roam freely. As the sun sets, return to your lodge for dinner and relaxation under the stars, listening to the distant call of hippos along the river.

Day 3: Morning Game Drive & Nile River Boat Cruise
Rise early for a sunrise game drive in the Buligi or Pakuba sectors, some of the park’s richest wildlife areas. Watch as the savannah comes alive with activity — lions stalking prey, elephants marching to the river, and Uganda kob grazing peacefully in the golden light.
After lunch, enjoy a boat cruise along the Nile River to the base of the spectacular Murchison Falls. Along the way, spot hippos, crocodiles, and countless bird species, including the rare shoebill stork. Disembark and take a short hike to the top of the falls, where the mighty Nile crashes through a narrow 7-meter gorge before plunging 43 meters below — a breathtaking sight.

Day 4: Budongo Forest Chimpanzee Trekking – The Primate Experience
After breakfast, drive to Budongo Forest Reserve, located at the southern edge of Murchison Falls National Park. This ancient rainforest is home to one of East Africa’s largest populations of chimpanzees.
Following a briefing, set off with experienced rangers to track these fascinating primates. The trek may take 2–4 hours, but once found, the reward is incredible — spending an hour watching chimps swing from branches, feed, and interact in their natural habitat. The forest is also a haven for birdwatchers, with over 350 species recorded.
Return to your lodge for lunch and an afternoon at leisure, enjoying a sundowner overlooking the Nile.
