- Day DAY 1 - Travel to Murchison Falls – Stopover at the Ziwa Rhino SanctAmakula African Safaris tour guide will pick you up from your accommodation after breakfast at 7:00am. The guide will give you a briefing and go over other important details regarding your safari in Uganda with you. The 6-hour trip to Murchison Falls National Park will then start. Banana plantations and farms abound in the countryside. If you stop, expect to find people selling fruits, roasted chicken or beef, roasted cassava, and bananas straight up to your car window. When the current leadership came to power, the Luwero district, which was formerly a battle zone, stopped being one. As you approach Murchison Falls, you will make a stop and take a detour to track black and white rhino in the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. One of the "big 5" animals, rhinoceroses have been extinct in Uganda since the early 1980s as a result of severe poaching. In order to produce rhinos and eventually bring them to Uganda's major wildlife parks, the sanctuary was founded in 2005. After lunch, you'll travel to the Masindi area before going to the Murchison Falls National Park to check into your accommodation.
