3-Day Short Uganda Tour Package Including Big 5 Sighting

Highlights

This short yet action-packed safari takes you to Murchison Falls National Park, Ugandaโ€™s largest and oldest national park. Itโ€™s a perfect tour for travelers with limited time who still want to experience some of Africaโ€™s most iconic wildlife. Youโ€™ll track rhinos on foot at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, enjoy a game drive across the savannah plains, take a scenic boat cruise to the base of the roaring Murchison Falls, and optionally hike to the top of the falls. With opportunities to spot lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, crocodiles, hippos, and a wide variety of birds, this tour guarantees an unforgettable wildlife experience.

Details Itinerary

You will be picked up early at 7:00 a.m. and begin your journey north. After a few hours, you’ll arrive at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, where youโ€™ll go on a guided one-hour on-foot rhino tracking adventureโ€”the only place in Uganda where you can see rhinos in the wild. After the experience, youโ€™ll stop for lunch in Masindi, then proceed to Murchison Falls National Park. This park is famous for its diverse wildlife and dramatic landscapes. If time permits, you may go on a late afternoon game drive, offering a chance to spot elephants, lions, buffaloes, and more. You’ll then check into your lodge for the evening.

Accommodation: Fort Murchison (Tent)

After an early breakfast, head out for a morning game drive through the park’s rolling plains. Youโ€™ll be searching for some of Africaโ€™s most iconic animalsโ€”lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, and, if you’re lucky, a leopard. Bird enthusiasts can look forward to spotting numerous bird species during the drive. Return to the lodge for lunch and relaxation. In the afternoon, enjoy a boat cruise on the Nile River to the base of the powerful Murchison Falls. Expect to see hippos, crocodiles, and a host of water birds. For those interested, you can choose to hike to the top of the falls for stunning views (optional, $15 per person). Afterward, return to your lodge for a peaceful night.

Accommodation: Fort Murchison (Tent)

Following breakfast, you will drive to the top of Murchison Falls, where the mighty Nile forces itself through a narrow 7-meter gorge and plunges 43 meters down, creating a spectacular display of raw natural power. After enjoying the view and taking photos, youโ€™ll begin your journey back to Kampala or Entebbe, where the safari ends. Drop-off will be at your hotel or Entebbe International Airport in time for your outbound flight.
