This one-day safari to Murchison Falls National Park is the perfect escape for travelers short on time but eager for adventure. Begin with an invigorating descent and hike to the top of the falls, where the mighty Nile squeezes through a narrow gorge before plunging into the valley below. The spray, roar, and rainbow-filled mist make this one of Uganda’s most iconic sights.
After a refreshing break, head out for a classic African game drive across rolling savannah plains. Keep your eyes peeled for lions lazing in the grass, elephants crossing the tracks, graceful giraffes, and herds of buffalo grazing under the acacia trees. With abundant birdlife and stunning landscapes as your backdrop, this day safari offers the perfect mix of adventure and wildlife encounters—all in just 12 hours.

5.00The trip to Murchison Falls through Murchison Backpackers was amazing!! It was super easy to book with them and make sure you ask for Julius to be your guide/driver. Julius is wonderful.

5.00The tour experience was amazing it really exceeded my expectations. I was in Kruger National Park last year and I did see a lot more animals, however the combination of a Game Drive, Boat Ride along the Nile and Hike up Murchison Falls took the cake for me. I would definitely recommend the whole package especially if you have been on Safari before.
Great Trip

5.00Very friendly guide and organisation on the Phone. The guide drove with me to the Market and Bank, because I had to buy some things. Even dropped me at the Sanctuary (for extra cost) in the evening. The Trip was nice, easy walk along the Falls, great views. The boatride was great too, saw a lot of animals.. Would recommend.

5.00Murchison Falls is an extraordinary park definitely worth visiting! Waterfalls, cruise and animal seeing make this experience unforgettable! Murchison backpacker agency organized a one day trip into the park. I would recommend at least two days to enjoy in properly with one night in one of the park lodges, but if you are in a rush or budget tight, then one day is perfect. We went for the waterfalls and the game drive. Everything was well organized and quite affordable thanks to May's efforts to help us budget wise. Nicolas is an awesome driver / guide, he is very friendly and he knows all about the park flaura and fauna! I would definitely recommend going with Nicolas and Murchison Backpacker agency :)
