Detailed Itinerary - Day by Day:

Day 1 — Kampala to Murchison Falls via Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary

Distance: 300 km | Drive: approx. 6 hours (2.5 hrs to Ziwa)

After breakfast your Eve On Safari guide meets you at your hotel and drives north to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary — the only place in Uganda where you can walk alongside rhinos. Uganda’s rhinos became extinct in the early 1980s through poaching and civil unrest; Ziwa was established to breed white and black rhinos and restore populations to national parks. After lunch continue to Murchison Falls NP, crossing the Nile by ferry to reach your lodge. Dinner and overnight at Pakuba Game Lodge.

Day 2 — Game Drive & Nile Boat Cruise

Rise early for a morning game drive across the rolling savannah of Uganda’s largest national park (3,893 sq km). Expect to see lions, giraffes, hartebeest, buffalo, elephants, Secretary Birds, and Black-Chested Snake Eagles. In the afternoon board a boat to the base of Murchison Falls, where the Nile thunders through a narrow 7-metre gap and plunges 43 metres — one of Africa’s most spectacular natural sights. Nile crocodiles and huge pods of hippos line every bank. Optional: disembark and hike 45 minutes to the top of the falls. Overnight at Pakuba Game Lodge (full board).

Day 3 — Top of the Falls & Return to Kampala

After breakfast, drive to the top of Murchison Falls for a close-up view into the gorge and — on sunny mornings — a beautiful rainbow. Then drive back south to Kampala, arriving in the evening for transfer to your hotel or onward connection.
