This safari promises an immersive journey into Uganda’s natural wonders. From the thunderous Murchison Falls to the intimate encounters with some of Africa’s most captivating wildlife.

In Murchison falls you have a chance to see many of Africa’s game, including four of the big five like the Buffalo, Elephant, lion and leopard then venture into the southern part of Murchison falls National Park in Uganda’s largest Forest Budongo.
