Day 2: Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary – Drive to Murchison Falls

After lunch at Ziwa, continue the scenic drive (approximately 5–6 hours) to Twiga Safari Lodge, located near the park.
Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda’s largest park (3,840 km²) and home to diverse wildlife including elephants, giraffes, buffalo, antelopes, hippos, crocodiles, and rare bird species like the shoebill stork. The park is bisected by the River Nile, which plunges 43 meters through a narrow 7-meter gorge, creating the dramatic Murchison Falls.
In the afternoon, visit the Top of the Falls for breathtaking views and photo opportunities.
Accommodation: Twiga Safari Lodge offers comfortable rooms with scenic views, abundant birdlife, and monkeys freely roaming the grounds.
Meals: Full Board (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Wake early for a morning game drive, exploring the park’s savannah and forests. Spot elephants, buffalo, giraffes, Uganda kob, lions, bushbucks, hyenas, and other wildlife. Guides provide expert insights into Uganda’s flora and fauna.
After lunch, enjoy a scheduled boat cruise from Paraa Lodge upstream to the base of Murchison Falls. See hippos, crocodiles, elephants, and a variety of birds, including the elusive shoebill. The cruise culminates at the Devil’s Cauldron, where the Nile forces through the narrow gorge, creating a spectacular waterfall and rainbow spray.
Return to Twiga Safari Lodge in the late afternoon. Enjoy dinner while watching the sunset over the Nile.
