Itinerary

Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and Murchison Falls National Park Game Drive: Days 1-2

An AA Safaris tour guide will greet you upon your arrival at Entebbe airport and take you on a drive through Entebbe town, where you can take in the views of Lake Victoria from the shore. From there, the guide will take you on the Kampala-Gulu highway to the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for rhino tracking and then on to Murchison Falls National Park. You will check into your lodge and have the option of a night game drive to see nocturnal animals (for those over 16 years old).

On the following day, you will have an early morning game drive through the park where you may see animals such as leopards, elephants, warthogs, buffaloes, lions, and giraffes as they awaken to the sounds of different birds. After lunch at Paraa Restaurant, you will take a boat ride on the Great Nile River and have the opportunity to photograph animals like hippos, elephants, waterbucks, and crocodiles as they drink and bathe at the shore. You will also have the chance to hike to the top of the falls to see the beautiful rainbow and watch the Great Nile River flow away. If you desire, you can request white water rafting on the Nile.
