Day 1 – Transfer to Murchison falls Park, Rhino tracking and Top of the falls
On the first day of our 3 Days Murchison Falls trip with Chimpanzees and Rhino tracking, we shall begin the journey at 7.00am. Destined for Murchison falls National Park, our confirmed first stop shall be at Ziwa Sanctuary for a thrilling encounter with one of Africa’s Big Five, the Rhinos. We shall have lunch after Rhino tracking and later continue with our drive to the park. A lot of amazing things await as you drive into this extensive jungle.
You will be treated to a cool breeze and panoramic views of the beautiful Budongo Forest on your way to the top of the Murchison falls. As you enjoy the cool fresh air and the views of Budongo Forest, you will find Baboons lining up along the road as if to say ‘welcome to our home’. This is however not the case, they are always on standby to snatch the eats you may have in the car, please keep the windows sealed. Don’t be tempted by their seductive behaviors to throw eats/fruits at them, feeding of animals in the national parks is against park rules.
You will finally reach the top of the Murchison falls where you will be amazed by how the calm waters of the river turn into such a dramatic scene with a very loud but pleasant roar. The Nile River with all its volume of water forces itself through a narrow gorge plunging 45m forming a heavy pool down.
