The itinerary of our standard trip is detailed below:
Day 1.
8.30 a.m. Depart Red Chilli Kampala on one of our 8-seater customized safari minibuses. Take lunch in Masindi before heading into the park. Proceed to the Red Chilli Rest Camp for sundowners and a meal before settling in for the night.
Day 2.
6.30 a.m. Depart Red Chilli Rest Camp in your minibus and cross the Nile for a 4 hour game drive around the Nile Delta area of the park. This is where the most big game gathers and where there are spectacular views across Lake Albert towards the Blue Mountains of the Congo and northern Uganda. There is a very high chance of seeing lion, buffalo, elephant, giraffe as well as many types of antelope and varied bird life. You might even get lucky and spot a leopard.
Head back to Red Chilli for a relaxing lunch.
2.15 p.m. Depart for a 3 hour afternoon boat launch trip up-stream towards the base of Murchison Falls. Hippos, huge Nile crocodiles, more buffalo, antelope and fantastically varied bird life abound. You might also see elephants drinking at the water’s edge.
Followed by a second night spent enjoying our hospitality and sitting around the campfire.
Day 3.
8.00 a.m. Depart to the top of the Falls for a guided walk around the cliffs and right up to the edge of the Falls themselves. Stop in Masindi for a leisurely lunch and return to Kampala between 4 - 6pm, traffic and weather permitting.
