4-Day Murchison Falls National Park & Budongo Tour

Just as agreed, so will our experienced driver-guide honor the promise by meeting you at the agreed point and time for a warm welcome and briefing. Thereafter, you will embark on a 5-6 hours' scenic drive to Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda's oldest and largest conservation area in Uganda. The drive comes with clear views of breathtaking landscapes, green vegetation, and busy streets, among others. Your arrival at the lodge will be late in the evening for dinner and an overnight stay.

This second day is one to remember, with activities commencing as soon as breakfast is done early morning. You will have a briefing by the guide, who will explain everything you need to know about birds. Then, we'll take you to the wilderness for a 3-4 hour search, where you will identify the sounds and sights of several bird species in the wild, notably the crested cranes, Egyptian geese, and the sought-after stork among others. You'll have a lunch break sometime after the first hours of the day, and then an afternoon boat cruise that will not only expose you to magnificent waterfalls, and several aquatic birds such as the kingfisher. Dinner and a nap are the last things on this day.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast meal early morning, you will get your packed lunch and head for a rewarding full-day game drive at the vast Budongo forest, right at the boundary of Budongo Forest National Park. You will traverse the giant Mahogany forest, identifying the unique characteristics of the different bird species, notably, the chocolate-backed kingfisher, Hugli's Francolin, white thighed hornbill, the blue-breasted kingfisher, and the dwarf kingfisher, among others. Lunch break comes after approximately 5 hours of quest, whereas the birding proceeds up to sunset, when you will return to the lodge for dinner and a nap.

After breakfast, you can have a top of the falls hike, before checking out of the lodge for a rewarding 5-6 hours' drive, while enjoying the breathtaking landscape and fresh air among others. Dinner and a peaceful overnight mark the closure of today's business. End of safari.
