• Day 1

  Drive to Murchison Falls national park, visit Ziwa Rhinos

  This morning, you will drive to Zziwa Rhino Sanctuary, a two-hour drive from Kampala, along the road on the way to Murchison Falls National Park. While you track the rhinos, look out for bush buck, leopard, Uganda kob, oribi and other wildlife present on the ranch. The bird life is abundant, with even the rare shoe-bill stork present in the Lugogo Swamps.

  Zziwa Rhino Sanctuary offers peace and tranquility in beautiful surroundings. On your way to the Murchison falls national park you will visit the "top of the falls" for your chance to view the magnificence of the Nile. The park is cut into half by the famous River Nile where it has to squeeze itself through the legendary Murchison Falls, an impossibly narrow 7 m gap in a cleft rock creating a powerful explosion of white water.
