Adventure

Enter the park through the Kichumbanyobo gate, passing through the Budongo forest and driving straight to the Top of the Falls. You will watch with awe as river Nile compresses from 50 meters, squeezing through a narrow cleft of only 6 meters and then plunging with a thunderous roar- creating a beautiful rainbow and a plume of spray.

Adventure

Our day begins with an early morning game drive. Here your guide will help you spot elephants, lions, Rothschild's giraffes, hartbeest waterbuck, oribi, hyena, Cape buffalo and sometimes leopard. After packed lunch, we go for a two-hour launch trip up stream the Victoria Nile to the base of the falls. On the 17 km stretch, you will see hippos yawning, crocodiles, elephants, waterbucks and Uganda kob. You will also be astonished at the vast number of bird species like king fisher, goliath heron, pelican bee-eater, Egyptian goose, hornbill and the rare shoebill stock. As the sun begins to dip, drive back to your lodge for dinner and overnight.
