2 Days Murchison Falls Wildlife Safari Tour & Hike in Uganda

Day 1: Drive from Kampala to Murchison Falls National Park and Boat Ride

Meet your driver-guide after breakfast and start your journey to Murchison Falls National Park, the largest national park in Uganda, via the Kampala-Gulu highway.

Enjoy a stopover to buy some fresh Ugandan fruits like oranges, passion fruits, and pineapples before continuing to your booked lodge for lunch.

In the afternoon, head out for an unforgettable boat ride on the River Nile. This activity lasts about three to three and a half hours, providing the opportunity to spot wildlife along the riverbanks, including monitor lizards, hippos, Nile crocodiles, buffalo, and an array of bird species such as African fish eagles, skimmers, cattle egrets, and the rare shoebill stork.

This memorable experience is sure to stay with you long after the trip. Return to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 2: Morning Game Drive and Return to Kampala

After an early breakfast, proceed to the park offices to meet your ranger guide for a morning game drive. The early start offers the best chance to catch nocturnal animals and hunters before they retreat to their hideouts.

Continue your drive through the park, spotting more wildlife in their natural habitats, including elephants, lions, giraffes, hyenas, antelopes, and waterbucks.

After this adventure, begin your journey back to Kampala, stopping for lunch en route. Continue to Kampala, where you’ll have dinner and, depending on your flight schedule, either head to the airport or stay for the night.

This marks the end of your 2-day Murchison Falls safari.
