5 Days Murchison Falls Wildlife and Kibale Chimpanzee Trek Safari

This is the first day of the 5 days Murchison falls wildlife and Chimpanzee trek safari and therefore, it is important that you are on time for a scheduled pick up by our safari team. The journey roughly takes about 5 – 8 hours to Murchison Falls National park but you will make a detour to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary to track some Rhinos. The Ziwa Rhino sanctuary is the only place in Uganda where you will find Rhinos; both black and white. The area is a conservation unit for Rhinos and some wildlife like Warthogs. Additionally, there is also a healthy population of birdlife that you will enjoy seeing as part of the 5 days Murchison Falls wildlife and Chimpanzee trek safari. Stop by the nearby town to pick up some lunch and refreshments after your Rhino tracking adventure to push you further for the remaining part of the journey. Upon arrival in Murchison Falls National park, check into your lodge for a night’s rest as you wait for the next day’s adventure.
