5 Days Murchison Falls National Park

The 5 Days Murchison Falls National Park safari pairs Uganda's wildest waterfall with the Nile's most exhilarating rapids, beginning at Murchison Falls National Park, where the entire Victoria Nile is forced through a 7-metre gorge in a thunderous explosion of white water. Game drives reveal elephants, buffaloes, Rothschild's giraffes, lions, and leopards across open savannah, while a boat cruise from the park's interior delivers you to the very base of the falls with hippos and crocodiles on both banks.

The safari then pivots east to Jinja, the adventure capital of East Africa, where the Nile begins its journey to the Mediterranean. White-water rafting on the Nile's legendary Grade 5 rapids, an optional bungee jump, and a peaceful sundowner cruise to the Source of the Nile make Jinja the perfect counterpoint to the wildness of Murchison.
