Overview
Murchison Falls and the Nile, at your pace
Seven days on Uganda's savannah side, built around the Nile compressed into a seven-metre gap and thrown ninety metres down — game drives on the northern bank, then a boat to the base of the falls.
Entirely road-based from Entebbe and requires no trekking permit, which makes it a straightforward pairing with a gorilla-focused trip elsewhere in the country.
