Day 1

Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch

Welcome to Uganda and welcome to your safari! It all begins here with an introduction to your guide and with a chance for you to ask any questions. Then it's time to get out there and enjoy your safari. Because you chose Uganda, you have so much to look forward to.

The flagship for a rhino reintroduction project organized by Rhino Fund Uganda and the Uganda Wildlife Authority, Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch is perfectly positioned for a stopover between Kampala and northern Uganda. More than 40 white rhinos now roam freely within the 7,000ha sanctuary, which is also home to other large mammals such as waterbuck, bushbuck and warthog.

Rhino tracking, Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch

Second only to elephants when it comes to bulk among African land mammals, white rhinos are intimidating creatures, as you'll see for yourself when you track them in Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch. This admirable rhino breeding project is home to plenty of other wildlife too, but Uganda's only population of rhinos does tend to steal the show, and it is a real thrill to encounter these peaceful grass-cropping giants on foot.

Accommodation Day 1

Pakuba Safari Lodge

Lodge

Our base in Murchison Falls is Pakuba Safari Lodge, which stands out for its isolated setting on the east bank of the Nile, 20km downstream from where it flows out of Lake Albert. No other lodge has a more convenient location for enjoying the wildlife action along the park’s legendary Delta Circuit.

Meal Plan Lunch & Dinner

Day 2

Murchison Falls National Park

One of the few African safari destinations that can be explored by car, by boat or on guided walks, the 3,480km² Murchison Falls National Park is dominated geographically by the Nile River and 43m-high waterfall after which it is named. Here you can be confident of seeing elephant, buffalo, hippo, giraffe, waterbuck, hartebeest, oribi, Uganda kob, crocodile and a good range of aquatic birds. With a bit of luck you might also encounter lion, leopard, patas monkey and the bizarre stork-like shoebill.

Early Morning Game Drive, Murchison Falls National Park

Put on some warm clothes and enjoy an early morning game drive. This is the perfect time to experience the wildlife and the landscapes they inhabit. The light is soft and warm – perfect for photography – and most animals are out and about, and active. If you’re not an early riser, you’ll definitely want to make an exception here.

Evening Game Drive, Murchison Falls National Park

You'll love the warm light and cooler temperatures as we take you out to explore on your evening game drive. This time of day is when both predators and prey are most active and it can feel as though anything could happen at any moment. This is when you'll most enjoy being on safari.
