Escape the everyday and dive into the heart of the African wild on our 3-day Murchison Falls adventure. This is your perfect long-weekend getaway, designed to deliver the ultimate Ugandan safari experience without taking up your entire calendar.
We have scheduled departures every Friday, making it easy to plan your escape. Or, if you’re dreaming of a private family holiday or a romantic retreat for two, you can simply choose your own dates!
From the powerful rush of the Nile squeezing through a narrow gorge to the gentle giants roaming the savannah, this trip is a symphony of unforgettable moments.

Highlights

  • A Close Encounter: Come face-to-face with the magnificent and endangered white rhino at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary—a truly hopeful conservation story.
  • The Mighty Nile: Witness the raw power of the Nile River as it explodes through a 7-meter gap to create the breathtaking Murchison Falls.
  • River Safari: Glide along the Nile on a boat cruise, spotting hippos, colossal crocodiles, and elephants coming to drink, all from a unique waterfront perspective.
  • Savannah Game Drive: Explore Uganda's largest national park in our 4x4, searching for tree-climbing lions, towering Rothschild's giraffes, and vast herds of antelope.
  • Birdwatcher's Paradise: Keep your eyes peeled for the legendary shoebill stork in the papyrus swamps and the elusive rock pratincole near the falls.
  • Sundowners by the Nile: Unwind at our beautiful lodge accommodation, Fort Murchison, with a cool drink in hand as you watch the river flow by and listen to the sounds of the African night come alive.

Day 1: Into the Wild & A Date with Rhinos

Your adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from Kampala or Entebbe. We'll journey north, our first stop being the incredible Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. Here, you'll trek on foot to observe the endangered white rhinos in their natural habitat—an awe-inspiring experience. After lunch, we continue into the wild, arriving in the afternoon at the charming Fort Murchison, nestled just outside the park. The evening is yours to relax on the lodge terrace, drink in hand, as you watch the Nile flow by and listen to the first sounds of the African night.

Day 2: The Power of the Falls & Savannah Kings

Today is a full day of safari magic! After an early breakfast, we cross the Nile for a morning game drive. Keep your camera ready as we search for elephants, giraffes, lions, and the abundant Ugandan kob. In the afternoon, we trade the vehicle for a boat and set off on a launch trip upstream. This peaceful journey brings you eye-to-eye with hippos, buffalo, and enormous crocodiles before arriving at the base of the thunderous Murchison Falls—a sight and sound you will never forget. We return to the lodge in the evening, full of stories from the day.

Day 3: Farewells and Journey Home
