Offered in: English

Your adventure begins on the calm waters of the Victoria Nile, as your boat glides past riverbanks teeming with wildlife. Watch hippos bobbing in the water, crocodiles sunning on the shore, and elephants or buffalo coming to drink. The river is also a bird lover’s paradise, with sightings of kingfishers, bee-eaters, herons, fish eagles, and sometimes the elusive shoebill.

As you cruise upstream, the landscape becomes more dramatic—cliffs rise, rapids stir, and soon, the cruise builds up to a dramatic finale at the base of Murchison Falls, where the entire Nile explodes through a narrow gorge with thunderous force before crashing 45 meters below.. Take in the spray and roaring sound—it’s an unforgettable moment in one of Africa’s most powerful natural settings.
