On this special extension to your Ugandan safari we travel to the
spectacular Murchison Falls National Park. A myriad of wildlife, including lion,
elephant, giraffe, kob, hippo, and the rare shoebill heron can be seen on our
animal viewing drives. From our camp on the Nile, enjoy sunrise boat trips and a
magical hike around the top of Murchison Falls, where the full width of the Nile
is forced through a narrow gorge, making it one the most dramatic waterfalls in
the world.
