This 8 day Uganda safari starts in Entebbe and end in Entebbe.
Our Uganda tour begins with an early morning briefing from the drive/guide and start the journey towards northern Uganda. As you move north the landscape is relatively flat with few hills but the two rain seasons and the very fertile soils supports the growing of coffee and banana plantations with other types of food staff, varieties of fruits etc.
The journey is roughly 233km to kichumbanyobo gate of Murchison falls national game park via Masindi town. Entering the park go through Budongo tropical rain forest which is the biggest Mahogany forest found in the whole of East Africa also habitat a number of chimpanzees and many other types of primates like black and white colobus monkeys, black faced vervet monkeys, olive baboons etc. We have no interest here since we shall see many of primates in kibale national game park.
The main activities of that day shall be visiting the top of Murchison falls and see River Nile waters being compressed through a small gap of only seven metres gorge wide thus making it among the strongest falls in the whole world.
The second activity of that day shall take a boat cruise on River Nile and that will enable us to view the falls from the bottom. Still on the boat cruise, a number of wildlife will be spotted on the banks of the river. Those include Elephants, buffalos, hippos, giant nile crocodiles etc. With that we shall end that day's activities and drive to the booked lodge for overnight stay.
