Drive through the Buganda towards the drier plains of Nakasongola and the tall jungle trees of Budongo, the largest forest reserve in Uganda. We first see the chimpanzees (2-hour activity) around midday and proceed to our private bush camp in the northern part of Murchison Falls in the evening, where we enjoy stunning sunset and sundowner. Here we begin our exquisite private wildlife safari. Murchison Falls is Uganda’s largest park – plenty to explore here. We stay in our private camp with no other tourists around, with an opportunity to explore the area on foot.
We go on an early morning walk exploring the Nyamsika area (2.5-4 hours) with plentiful wildlife and stunning scenery, with dry riverbed snaking through the savannah, Borassus, and acacia woodlands. After midday rest, we continue exploring the vast plains around the Nile Delta with a bounty of wildlife. We return to Nyamsika to enjoy a beautiful sunset and views with a sundowner.
After another walk in the morning, we embark on an exciting boat ride to the bottom of the falls while seeing plenty of elephants, giraffes, crocs, hippos, and other animals and the shores. Then it’s time for a brisk 45 minutes walk through the river jungle to the top of these powerful falls. After the lunch break, we return to our 2nd private camp at Pendero or Tangi for rest. Evening option for a shorter walk or a game drive depending on your desire.
We continue exploring the area walking around Pendero or Northern Nyamsika area with excellent views and wildlife around, including herds of elephants common in the area.
