• Day 2

  Drive to Murchison Falls National Park

  Having arrived the night before, this morning you depart Entebbe headed to Murchison Falls National Park with a refreshment break at Migyera on the Kampala-Gulu road. The drive to the ferry-crossing should take you some 4-5 hours. After the ferry-crossing on the southern bank, you will check-in at Murchison River Lodge and enjoy lunch. After lunch, at 2.00pm, you will head out for the boat launch to the bottom of the powerful Murchison Falls.

  This three-hour boat cruise climaxes at the edge of the rift valley escarpment at which point you will get off the boat and trek to the top of the falls (wear sports shoes while on the boat for ease of trekking to the top). Having worked up a sweat, once at the top, get bathed in the misty spray that the Nile create as it forces itself into the 7-metre cleft to create the famous Murchison Falls. Your guides will be waiting up top to transfer you back to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

• Day 3

  Morning & Evening Game Drives

  You are up at 6.00 am and enjoy your breakfast. At 6.30 am after your breakfast, you will drive out for a game drive for a chance to view the glorious day-break from across the open savannah, birds and dotted woodland as well as riverine vegetation along the Nile. Wildlife on the northern bank where you explore this morning has game that includes Rothschild Giraffe, elephant, lions, oribis, waterbucks etc and a variety of savannah woodland birds.

  At between 11-12 midday, you will return to the lodge for relaxation and lunch. After lunch, relax at the lodge. Later in the evening, you will go out for an evening game drive to view this beautiful park and its inhabitants from a totally different perspective when the sun has gone down. If there is game you missed out on the morning game drive, you might be lucky in the evening. After your drive, return to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

• Day 4

  Drive to Jinja & Visit Source of the Nile

  Today, wake up at leisure and enjoy your breakfast. At 8.00 am after breakfast, you check-out and commence your transfer to Jinja - the Source of the Nile. You will have lunch in Kampala en-route before completing your transfer to Jinja 80 kilometres east of Kampala.

  You arrive Jinja in the mid-afternoon and head to the Source of the Nile for a chance to see the Nile start its 6,000+ kilometres to the Mediterranean. After your visit to the Source of the Nile, you check-in at Nile Village Hotel & Spa for dinner and overnight.

• Day 5

  Rafting the Nile & Departure

  You can choose between a whole day rafting expedition, a half day expedition – whichever fits your adventure spirit. For the 12-year old not to miss out, you can chose a Family rafting expedition. Instead of choosing the wild rapids, you drift swiftly between beautiful forested islands. Children will love floating down the calmer section of the river.

  Alternatively, if white water rafting does not appeal to your adventure spirit, you can choose to go on a Quad bike safari (not included in price) along trails that have been developed beside the young Nile in Jinja. At the end of this exciting day, you are transferred to Entebbe International Airport in time for you to check-in for your departure flight home.
