Rise early for breakfast, and head out for a sunrise game drive when wildlife is most active. This is the ideal time to search for predators before they retreat from the morning heat. The drive offers another opportunity to encounter lions, leopards, hyenas, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, and a variety of antelope species.
Return to the lodge for lunch, and some leisure time while enjoying the lodge facilities and scenic surroundings.
In the afternoon, enjoy one of the park’s most memorable activities—a boat safari along the River Nile to the base of Murchison Falls. This relaxing cruise offers remarkable wildlife viewing from a unique perspective. Along the riverbanks, expect to see large schools of hippos, enormous Nile crocodiles basking in the sun, elephants cooling off in the water, buffaloes grazing near the shore, and an incredible variety of birdlife.
As the boat approaches the base of the falls, witness the dramatic spectacle of the Nile squeezing through a narrow gorge before exploding into a thunderous cascade. The sight, sound, and power of the falls create an unforgettable experience. Return to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
