3 -Day Mighty Murchison Falls safar

 3- Day Mighty Murchison Falls Safari

SAFARI OVERVIEW

Heading north from Kampala, our 3-Day Mighty Murchison Falls Safari itinerary takes you through villages and small towns over relatively flat savanna and agricultural terrain. Then your driver will stop at the rhino sanctuary and head into the park where the rest of your adventure awaits you. Kidepo Valley and Murchison Falls National Park once hosted both black and white rhinos; however, widespread poaching during the Idi Amin era resulted in the disappearance of these majestic animals from the wild. Founded in 1998, Rhino Fund Uganda works to reintroduce black and white rhinos into Uganda.
