4 Days Murchison Falls Safari & Chimpanzee Tracking

The Ultimate Murchison Falls Experience

Four days is the perfect duration to fully immerse yourself in Murchison Falls National Park—Uganda's largest and oldest conservation area—combined with intimate chimpanzee encounters in the ancient Budongo Forest. This comprehensive safari delivers spectacular wildlife viewing across vast savannah plains, the thundering power of Murchison Falls where the mighty Nile explodes through a narrow 7-meter gorge, and unforgettable primate tracking experiences.

Your Safari includes extensive game drives across 3,893 square kilometers of pristine wilderness teeming with elephants, lions, Rothschild's giraffes, and buffaloes, a boat cruise to the base of the falls observing hippos, crocodiles, and the rare shoebill stork, and trekking through Budongo's mahogany forest tracking habituated chimpanzees. With 76 mammal species and over 451 bird species, Murchison Falls offers one of East Africa's most diverse wildlife experiences. The extra day allows for a more relaxed pace, deeper exploration, and the flexibility to add optional activities like rhino tracking at Ziwa Sanctuary or a sunrise game drive.
