Early in the morning, you will set off on a game drive to see some of the creatures that call Murchison falls home. You will have a game drive through the delta circuit, reputably known for high concentrations of wildlife. The Guide will lead you to a grassy peninsular, bordered by the delta of the Victoria Nile to the south and the Albert Nile to the north. There are kob breeding grounds, where you can view herds of Uganda kob and common prides of lions which stick close to their prey. Other antelopes you will see include Defassa waterbuck, Jackson’s hartebeest and orbi. Great herds of giraffe also occupy this area. Buffalo herds, hippos, and elephants are also common. Birds found here include the rare shoebill stork, Abyssinian ground hornbill, crested crane, saddle-billed stork, Denham’s bustard and the Senegal thickknee among other various water and savannah grassland birds. The game drive will end at between 11am &12 pm depending on the guide. You will have your lunch at Para Safari. After lunch; you will go for the superb launch cruise on the Nile. The two hour trip will be done in the afternoon. In addition to taking you close to the base of the waterfall, the launch trip follows a stretch of the Nile with a compelling African atmosphere, fringed by borassus palms, acacia woodland and stands of mahogany. Game viewing is excellent. You could see hippos in their hundreds, some of the largest crocodiles left in Africa, small herds of buffalo, waterbuck, and kob and as often as not giraffe, bushbuck and monkeys. Elephants are frequently observed playing in the water often within a few meters from the launch, and fortunate visitors might even see a lion or leopard. The birdlife on the papyrus-lined banks is stunning, with the top prize being the shoebill. Other birds to be seen include the African fish Eagle, Goliath heron, saddle-billed stork, African Jacana, Pied and malachite kingfishers, African skimmer, Piacpiac, rock Pratincole and many more. You will be dropped at a base below the falls to begin a trek to the top of the falls. Only here can one truly appreciate the staggering power with which the Nile crashes through the 43 meter narrow gap in the Rift valley escarpment, not to mention the deafening roar and voluminous spray associated with the phenomenon. You will not miss the rainbow. It was at this point that the great explored stood and marveled at the sheer beauty of the falls thereby naming them after the president of the Royal Geographic Society in 1864.
