Day 2: Morning Game Drive & Afternoon Boat Cruise to the Base of the Falls

Rise early for a morning game drive across the northern savannah plains. With the help of your expert guide, you’ll track lions, elephants, buffaloes, Rothschild giraffes, and, if lucky, leopards. The birdlife here is also exceptional.

Return to the lodge for breakfast and some relaxation before heading out in the afternoon for a boat cruise along the River Nile. This scenic ride takes you to the base of the dramatic Murchison Falls, where the Nile squeezes through a narrow 7-meter gorge, exploding into a thunderous cascade.
