Arguably the highlight of this trip is the Mighty River Nile, which bisects the park and is forced through an 8m2 wide cleft in the rock at Murchison Falls, plunging into the Devil's Cauldron below. This is one of Activentures Africa Safaris' signature tours and is highly popular, with tailor made departures throughout the year. Perfect for those looking for a classic safari experience! This Safari can take off the very same day for all guests arriving Entebbe early morning from 6am - 12pm.

Day 1
Upon arrival at Entebbe Airport & after immigration you will be received by our Head tour guide and immediately transferred to freshen up at the nearby Airport Hotel. To save time each guest will depart with a packed meal from Cafe Javas, you will receive a soft copy of the menu before arrival in Entebbe so that you can make your own meal selection. There will also be a pre- safari briefing to set off right. En-route to Murchison Falls N.P there will be a stopover at The Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for Rhino trekking. Whilst rhino trekking, you will enter the territory of the southern white rhinos on foot. Well-trained rangers will guide you through the bush to wherever the rhinos are at the time. Rhino trekking will give you the opportunity to watch these endangered, magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. Thereafter proceed to check-in, dinner & overnight at Fort Murchison or Similar. This safari is suitable for for all flights landing at Entebbe before 12pm. Mid-range lodge located just outside Murchison Falls NP All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 2
6.00: Early morning breakfast and depart from the lodge for an early morning game drive. Enjoy a 4-hour game drive around the Buligi game tracks, which stretch between the Victoria and Albert Niles, and down to the Nile-Lake Albert Delta. Most of the park’s game and bird life can be viewed from here. Return to the lodge for lunch, for 4 pax and more we can organize for you to have your lunch while cruising on the Nile. 14.00: Depart for an approximately 3hour boat cruise along the Victoria Nile to the base of the Falls, along the way; you will be able to observe a wide variety of birds and wildlife, including numerous hippos and crocodiles – as well as breathtaking scenery. On reaching the bottom of the falls you will be dropped off to hike up to the Top of the Mightly Murchison Falls here you will see the Nile squeezing through a 9 Metre Gorge creating a thunderous roar and a beauty to behold. You will later be transferred back to Fort Murchison for dinner & over night. Mid-range lodge located just outside Murchison Falls NP All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 3
6:30am after early light breakfast. Depart the Lodge transferring to Budongo forest to embark on your memorable morning chimpanzee trek. Chimp trekking safaris offer a wildly different—and wildly dynamic—primate experience. Fast, vocal, and brilliantly intelligent, chimpanzees live in large, social groups that fill the forest with hoots, screams, and laughter. To walk among them in their natural habitat is to witness a community in constant motion. While chimp trekking you will be in company of trained rangers to guide, educate & answer any questions. By midday you will be done heading out of the park for lunch in Masindi Town. After lunch transfer back to Entebbe Airport arriving by 6pm. Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) Drinks not included

I have traveled to over 80Countries and used countless coordinators and Dianah and her team are absolutely the best. My wife and I recently traveled to Ethiopia, Uganda, and Rawanda for 3 weeks on a trip organized by Dianah. Everything was perfect. Our Driver/Guides, Richard and Robert are both excellent English speakers and very knowledgeable guides as well. Their vehicles are well maintained, clean and comfortable Land Cruisers. The lodges Dianah selected were first class…. With super friendly staff and excellent dining. Trekking to observe Silver Backs up close in the wild is an exhilarating experience I will never forget. I can’t wait to work with Dianah on a future African adventure!

My husband and I were married in a civil ceremony in 1993 and di not have time or money for a honeymoon. For many years we have dreamed of a safari to make memories that we could reflect on as we grow older. A chance meeting with Musa led to the safari adventure of our dreams! I spoke with Musa about what our ideal safari adventure would look like and what we wanted to experience. He and Diana put together an adventure that was everything we wanted and so much more. They suggested things that we hadn't even thought of. From the moment we boarded the Kenya Airlines flight to commerce to the beautiful continent of Africa until the last moment when we arrived back in New York, everything was perfect. I am a very "hands-on" planner and this was an adventure of which I had no concept of what to expect. The experienced team at Activenures knew just how to put together the most amazing experiences and anticipated all of our needs before we had even thought about them. Their collective knowledge was so helpful in planning and executing our dream anniversary trip. They did not miss any details. Our accommodations were amazing, comfortable and well planned. Our safety was considered a number one priority. So much so, that we never even considered it because we felt so safe and comfortable that we never had to. The people who were assigned to guide us through Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda were extremely professional and their knowledge was unmatched. Musatu was our guide for the majority of our safari and we found him to be so very knowledgeable and seasoned. He was simply delightful and went above and beyond to show us his beautiful country with its amazing animals and even more amazing people. The people of Africa are so gentle and kind. We felt very welcome at every place we visited. We are so grateful to Activentures, Musa, Diana and Musatu for helping us realize our dream of getting to experience Africa in a way that was so personal and memorable. We can't say enough about the amazing experience that these folks put together for us. The 16 days we spent in Africa were so memorable without any glitches, without any problems and without any mix-ups. This is the kind of service you can only get with people who have a lot of experience with what they do. We will carry our African adventure in our hearts for the rest of our lives!
