Airport and head out for Murchison falls. The highlights of this park include; the roaring rapids of the Murchison,
the rolling plains of Uganda’s largest National Park where you will have the chance of viewing lions, giraffes,
hartebeest, buffalo, and elephants. Then surely you will be fascinated by the concentration of hippos and the Nile
crocodiles here. For birders, Murchison Falls boasts 450 bird species including the elusive shoebill stork, dwarf king
fisher, the white-thigh hornbill, and the Goliath heron among others. En route, make a stopover at Zziwa Rhino

You will have an opportunity to take thousands of pictures (and so carry your camera with you if you like).
