4 Days Chimpanzee Tracking Safari

Welcome to an immersive 4 Days Chimpanzee Tracking Safari adventure through the heart of Uganda.

This may be the largest park in Uganda. But its very existence is derived by the famous Murchison falls rushing and thunderous waters of River Nile that are forced through a narrow gorge. 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 that is a home to the endangered chimpanzee community.
