4x4 land cruiser
One of the few African safari destinations that can be explored by car, by boat or on guided walks, the 3,480km² Murchison Falls National Park is dominated geographically by the Nile River and 43m-high waterfall after which it is named. Here you can be confident of seeing elephant, buffalo, hippo, giraffe, waterbuck, hartebeest, oribi, Uganda kob, crocodile and a good range of aquatic birds. With a bit of luck you might also encounter lion, leopard, patas monkey and the bizarre stork-like shoebill.
Second only to elephants when it comes to bulk among African land mammals, white rhinos are intimidating creatures, as you'll see for yourself when you track them in Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch. This admirable rhino breeding project is home to plenty of other wildlife too, but Uganda's only population of rhinos does tend to steal the show, and it is a real thrill to encounter these peaceful grass-cropping giants on foot.
Everybody's favorite pre- or post-gorilla tracking chill-out spot is Bunyonyi, a gorgeous lake hemmed in by steep cultivated slopes typical of southwestern Uganda. Relax on the beach with a cold beer, enjoy a tasty curry made with local freshwater shrimps, ramble or bird watch through the surrounding countryside, or explore the islands by boat.
Spending time in the presence of mountain gorillas is a real privilege, so we're sure you'll enjoy trekking deep into the forest to find them. This is one of the most memorable experiences you can have while on safari.
