Spot some of Uganda’s rarest wildlife species on this multi-day safari expedition to Murchison Falls National Park and Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary.
Murchison Falls National Park on a private tour and you will be greeted with fantastic sweeping views of the oldest and largest conservation area of Uganda.

From the powerful waterfall comes a calm and tranquil stream that flows into Lake Albert. Here is where you can do many boat tour safaris and see the spectacular wildlife along the shores.
The range of wildlife you might see on these boat tours include elephants, buffaloes and giraffes. The more permanent residents that you will see are Nile crocodiles and hippos.
Bird watchers are in for a treat when they come to Murchison Falls National Park as there are over 450 bird species.
