4 Days Murchison Wildlife Tour & Chimpanzee Trekking Safari

Day 1: Pick-Up and Transfer to Murchison Falls National Park

Our safari guide will pick you up from the agreed location, provide a quick briefing about the safari, and start the journey to Murchison Falls National Park. Along the way, you’ll stop for rhino trekking at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, followed by a lunch stop in Masindi, before proceeding to the park.

The Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary protects rhinos that survived Uganda’s 1980s civil wars, and in 2004, the government restored a small number back into the sanctuary. You’ll also spot other primates and birds in the area. Afterward, continue to your booked lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 2: Morning Game Drive and Boat Cruise

Rise early in the morning and head to the park headquarters to register, pick up a ranger guide, and set out for an exhilarating morning game drive under a beautiful sunrise. Spot and record sightings of early-morning hunters like leopards, lions, hyenas, and other mammals.

Later, enjoy a delicious bush breakfast and continue the drive to observe even more wildlife, such as elephants, Uganda kobs, giraffes, and warthogs. Return to the lodge for lunch and some relaxation.

In the afternoon, embark on a memorable boat cruise that will take you to the base of Murchison Falls, followed by a visit to the top of the falls. Along the way, you’ll encounter beautiful scenery, including flowers, butterflies, and spectacular views of the Nile.

Witness the river as it meets the gorge and creates a permanent rainbow against the backdrop of woodlands and rocks. After this remarkable experience, return to the lodge, with opportunities to spot water animals like hippos and Nile crocodiles along the way. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay at the lodge.

Day 3: Chimpanzee Trekking in Budongo Forest

Chimpanzee trekking in Budongo Forest offers a unique, enriching, and memorable experience, with a high likelihood of interacting with international researchers who share their knowledge about these primates in their natural habitat.

You’ll have one hour to spend with the chimpanzees, observing their behavior and learning about their similarities to humans. Researchers note that chimpanzees share 98% of human DNA, making them our closest relatives after gorillas.

Day 4: Morning Game Drive and Departure

On this day, wake up early for breakfast, check out of the lodge, and head for a final game drive in Murchison Falls National Park. Take the opportunity to spot any wildlife you may have missed or see your favorite animals one last time. Then, embark on the journey back to Kampala, stopping en route for lunch.

Upon arrival in Kampala, if time permits, you can visit a local craft shop to purchase souvenirs as a memento of your safari. Your driver-guide will drop you at your hotel or the airport, marking the end of your 4-Day Murchison Falls National Park Safari.
