2-Day Murchison Falls Safari: A Short Yet Unforgettable Wildlife Adventure

Looking for a quick yet thrilling getaway? Our 2-Day Murchison Falls Safari is the perfect choice! This adventure takes you to Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s largest national park, covering 3,840 km². The park is divided by the mighty River Nile, which dramatically crashes through a narrow 6-meter gorge before plunging 40 meters into the Devil’s Cauldron. The boat cruise to the base of the falls offers an up-close experience with breathtaking views and abundant wildlife, including elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, lions, hippos, crocodiles, and numerous bird species.
