Ideal for travellers who do not have much time.  An overall safari of 4 days to Murchison Falls National Park. Here, the animals are in plentiful supply and the Murchison Falls accessible by boat. There are a good number of elephants, giraffes, lions, Ugandan Kobs, buffaloes, hippos, crocodiles and plentiful birds. The mighty falls are a particularly breathtaking sight.

Day 1 - Murchison Falls

Depart Kampala, heading north to Masindi and arrive Murchison Falls National Park by afternoon.

Day 2 & 3 - Murchison Falls

Days spent viewing game and at some time take the boat trip up the Nile to the base of the Murchison Falls.  To get there we take a superb boat ride up the Victoria Nile River to their base. En route there are crocodiles and hippos, thousands of birds (including the rare shoebill stork) and usually elephants. The best viewing of the 43m falls is up close. It is spectacular to see the 50m wide Nile squeeze through a 6m wide cleft in the rocks, and virtually shoot out the other side. It is possibly the most powerful natural surge of water found anywhere else in the world.
There is also the possibility of walking in the Eastern side of the park which offers some stunning views of the raging water and waterfall.

Day 4 -Kampala

Return to Kampala by afternoon.
