Offered in: English

This 3-day safari combines Uganda’s only rhino tracking experience on foot at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary with classic wildlife safaris in Murchison Falls National Park, making it one of the most complete short safaris in the country.

Unlike standard Murchison tours, this itinerary offers close-up walking encounters with endangered white rhinos, followed by game drives in Uganda’s largest national park and a relaxing Nile River boat cruise to the base of the world-famous Murchison Falls. The journey is led by experienced local Ugandan guides, ensuring authentic insight, flexible pacing, and responsible tourism that supports conservation and local communities.

The balance of adventure, education, wildlife diversity, and scenic river experiences makes this tour ideal for travelers who want more than a typical safari in limited time.
