3 Days Murchison Falls & the Rhinos
White rhino on foot at Ziwa, then the Nile at Murchison — the boat to the foot of the falls and the climb to the top.
No gorillas in this one. It is for people who have done Bwindi already, or have a few days either side of a longer trip, and want the north: rhino tracked on foot, then Uganda’s largest park and the most violent waterfall on the Nile.

Day by day
- Day 1
Rhinos at Ziwa, then Murchison
Pick-up in Entebbe or Kampala early, and north to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary — the only place in Uganda with wild rhino — to track white rhino on foot with a ranger. Lunch, then on to Murchison Falls National Park for the evening.
Overnight: Paraa Safari Lodge
- Day 2
Game drive, the Nile and the falls
An early game drive on the north bank for lion, giraffe, elephant and buffalo. After lunch, the boat upstream to the foot of the falls, past hippos and crocodiles; you get off at the bottom and climb to the top, where the whole Nile forces itself through a gap seven metres wide.
