3 Days Trip to Murchison Falls

Murchison Falls National Park lies at the northern end of the Albertine Rift Valley, where the bulky Bunyoro escarpment merges into the vast plains of Acholi land. One of Uganda's oldest conservation areas, it was initially gazetted as a game reserve in 1926 to protect the wildlife-filled savanna. The park is bisected by the Victoria Nile which plunges an incredible 40 meters over the remnant rift valley wall at the dramatic Murchison Falls, the centerpiece of the park. The mighty Falls drains the last of the river's energy and transforms it into a broad, placid stream that flows quietly across the rift valley floor for to Lake Albert. This stretch of river provides one of Uganda's most memorable wildlife spectacles. Regular visitors include elephants, giraffes and buffalos while hippos and Nile crocodiles are permanent residents. Trips to the top of the falls are the best way to appreciate the immense quantities of water that gush powerfully through the narrow gap in the escarpment – and send spray and rainbows over the viewpoint. Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, south of Masindi, is home to Uganda’s only rhinos. Wildlife The Park’s residents include elephants, an incredible number of giraffes, buffaloes, warthogs, lions, hippos, jackals the bizarre-looking hartebeest and bushbucks amongst others. Habituated chimpanzee groups live in the neighboring Budongo Forest Reserve, while Uganda’s only rhinos live at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, on the way to the Park from Kampala. Birds Murchison Falls National Park is also home to some of Uganda’s most iconic bird species – including the sought-after shoebill and the grey-crowned crane, the national symbol. Among the other 460 confirmed species in the Park, there are Abyssinian ground hornbills, saddle-billed storks, Goliath herons, weaver birds, African jacanas, and many migrant waders. Nocturnal species include nightjars and spotted eagle owls. Monkey Practical Information The following are some of the things that we will do on this 3 days trip: - Launch trips to the base of the falls offer fine game viewing and bird watching. - Boat trip to the Lake Albert delta provide a great chance of sighting rare shoebills. - Chimp tracking at Rabongo Forest, and en route from Masindi in the Budongo Forest. - Game drive allowing you to take in the vastness of the palm-tree filled savanna, and observe an astonishing quantity of wildlife.

3 Days Gorilla Trekking Tour to Bwindi

Aside from the below description, we kindly refer you to the itinerary for a day-by-day itinerary of this tour. A trip to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a dream for every person who loves adventure, it's a true African Jungle. It is so called because the dense undergrowth, vines and other vegetation make it almost 'impenetrable'. It's mysterious and awesome. The lowland rain-forest and montane forest vegetation constantly struggles to reach heights that will allow it to receive more light. Huge trees are festooned with creepers and parasitic plants such as mistletoe and orchids. Giant thickets of bamboo thrive in the humid atmosphere and, where sunlight breaks through, the elegant heliconia, or lobster claw, spreads its colorful petals. Amongst the dense vegetation the Colobus Monkeys jump from branch to branch, chattering its warning to its fellows hidden by the foliage. Chimpanzees, in families of 20 or 30, make the rounds, searching for fruit and edible plants. Many species of birds can be seen, including various turacos and a great many birds of prey. The forest is sanctuary for almost half the world's population of mountain gorillas(about 330 of 600), which is the rarest race of gorilla. Established as a safe habitat for several families of mountain gorillas it is now the location of an important scientific conservation programme. Gorilla tracking visits are limited to small groups. As you walk among the shadows of the leafy canopy, this rain-forest reveals the smells and sounds of Africa, just as it has been for centuries.

Thrilling African Safari Hosted By Devine African Safaris

Our trip to Uganda was a gratifying experience. From the moment we landed in Entebbe everything was organized meticulously. We were thrilled by Boaz the excellent guide who was patient and very professional.

In the park we saw herds of buffaloes, prides of lions, big herds of elephants, chimps, monkeys, large groups of hippos and much more. I definitely recommend this company

Amazing Mountain Gorillas Experience

I planned our (younger sister and I) 3 days Gorilla Trekking Safari with the local travel specialist. Nicholas from the agency patiently addressed all my emails, concerns and questions professionally. We were given Boaz to guide us for the trip and he was incredible. Boaz made sure that we not only saw Gorillas but also made the trip interesting with interesting stories about Ugandas history, culture and wildlife. We had a very interactive and amazing experience with the travel expert.
