We’ll leave after an early breakfast to take the journey from Kampala through Uganda’s beautiful green undulating countryside to Masindi and on to the Murchison Falls National Park, spotting game en route. Dinner and overnight at Paraa Safari Lodge/Nile Safari Lodge/Sambiya Lodge/Red Chilli Rest Camp. Day 2: Game Drive and Launch Cruise. In the early morning have a cup of coffee or tea then have the first scenic game drive in the park. Our ranger will help us view the extraordinary variety of wildlife living here, including Uganda kob, elephants, lions, giraffes, antelopes, a vast variety of birds and much more. After a substantial lunch, we’ll take an amazing launch trip to the foot of the Murchison Falls. We’ll see pods of hippos, crocs, and vast numbers of exotic birds and butterflies. There are over 300 varieties of birds and myriads of wildlife that come to the water to drink (often including herds of elephants). We’ll hopefully see the legendary shoebill stork. The waterfall itself is one of Africa’s wonders- the Victoria Nile bursts majestically through a seven-meter gap to an awesome forty meter drop.
