Day One: SAFARI Murchison falls NP
Our driver guide will pick you up from your hotel and drive you to Murchison falls National Park. You will pass through the famous Luwero triangle, Budongo forest which is found on the western arm of the Great Rift Valley. The journey offers you great sceneries that are pleasing till you reach the park in the afternoon.   The drive to the top of the falls from where you will marvel at  the beauty of the Nile is one venture that cant be missed once you visit this park. Some people refer to it as the highlight of this park. Here the Nile forces its self through a narrow Gorge 7 meters wide to fall a distance of about 150 ft down producing a thunderous roar of white water- incredible beautiful scenery!   Take photos then transfer to board the ferry across the river heading to Paraa Safari Lodge for lunch.  Relax at the lodge as you wait for an evening game drive to search for some savannah wildlife like the Giraffe, lion, leopard, etc and if you are lucky you will encounter them. Return to the quietude of Paraa Lodge/ Nile safari Camp/ Sambiya River Lodge / Red Chillis camp for dinner and overnight.
