Itinerary

Day 1

KAMPALA : MURCHISON FALLS NATIONAL PARK
From Kampala we depart for the most beautiful protected area in Uganda: Murchison Falls National Park. Enjoy a lunch stop in Masindi before we enter the park. We visit the magnificent falls where you will enjoy and marvel at the mighty Nile, being forced into a seven meter crevice to thunder 45 meters below in a series of cascades that can viewed at different points up to the baler's summit. Dinner and overnight at Red Chilli Rest Camp.

Day 2

MURCHISON FALLS NATIONAL PARK
After an early morning breakfast, embark on a half-day game drive on the northern bank of the Nile, escorted by a game ranger. Game in this part includes: Rothschild giraffe, elephants, Jackson hartebeest, lions, oribis, waterbucks and a variety of savannah woodland birds. At 14.00 hrs, after lunch, we go on a Nile cruise for game viewing at close quarters; this is a paradise of hippos and crocodiles. Dinner and overnight at Red Chilli Rest Camp.

Day 3

MURCHISON FALLS NATIONAL PARK : JINJA
We depart Murchison Falls with a game drive as we leave the park. Heading towards the south, we will continue to Jinja, the origin of the Nile. We will make a stop at the Source of the Nile and see how the longest river of the world starts its journey through Africa. Check in for dinner and overnight at Adrift Nile High Camp and relax while you enjoy the beautiful sunset over the Nile.

Day 4

JINJA
Ready for a full day of adventure? Then start rafting at the source of the Nile. Enjoy the beautiful scenery and thundering rapids of the White Nile. Don't forget to watch the incredible birdlife as you drift quietly between the rapids of the river.
Those who prefer a more peaceful experience of the Nile can also decide to go for a wonderful river journey for the whole family. Instead of choosing the wildest rapids, we drift swiftly between beautiful forested islands, bounce down smaller rapids and explore the least known channels. After this exciting day we head back to Kampala for the night.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
