The Heart of the Wild: 2-Day Classic Murchison Falls Safari
Welcome to Uganda’s most iconic safari destination—a land of roaring waterfalls, vast savannahs, and encounters with Africa’s most magnificent wildlife. This 2-day classic safari to Murchison Falls National Park is perfect for travelers who want the full safari experience in a short timeframe.
From powerful lions stalking antelope on the plains to herds of elephants grazing by the riverbank, Murchison offers a front-row seat to the wild. Add in a sunset boat cruise along the Nile and a hike to the thunderous Top of the Falls, and you've got a safari that’s short, sharp, and unforgettable.

The adventure begins with a scenic drive through rural Uganda, arriving in time for your first game drive or the iconic Nile boat cruise. You'll spend the night at a comfortable safari lodge, where campfires crackle under the stars and the sounds of the wild lull you to sleep.

The next day includes a morning game drive with chances to see giraffes, buffaloes, warthogs, and if you're lucky, a leopard in the golden light of dawn. Then, hike to the Top of Murchison Falls, standing just meters away from where the Nile explodes through the gorge—raw power and beauty all in one.

Tour Itinerary
Day 1 – Into the Wild & The Nile Cruise
Depart early from Kampala or Entebbe for the scenic drive to Murchison Falls National Park, with a lunch stop en route. After entering the park, head straight for your first experience—either an afternoon game drive across the Buligi savannah in search of elephants, giraffes, lions, and more, or a sunset boat cruise along the Nile, drifting past hippos, crocodiles, and flocks of birds as the sun paints the sky. You’ll settle into your safari lodge in the evening, enjoy a hearty dinner, and fall asleep to the sounds of the wild.
Day 2 – Sunrise Safari & Top of the Falls Hike
Wake up early for a sunrise game drive—arguably the best time to catch predators on the move and wildlife in action. After a few hours exploring the park, you’ll head to Paraa for the short but dramatic hike to the Top of Murchison Falls. Witness the Nile being forced through a narrow rock gap with thunderous power. After the hike, you’ll enjoy lunch before starting your return journey to Kampala or Entebbe, arriving in the evening.
