We will start by walking up the valley floor through tall forest trees of the Afro montane forest zone. This is a steady climb for the first six kilometres then after crossing a river it is a steep climb up to sine camp. The forest trees are very tall with multitudes of birds and a chance of seeing the blue monkeys scampering through the forest. Enock’s falls are just 200 meters from sine hut and offer a splendid opportunity to capture a great screensaver for your memories as brightly clouded green lichen grow on the many lives hanging from the trees with the waterfall as a background. At Sine Camp 2,596 metres we have wooden huts set between tall forest trees on a narrow ridge where you may sit and enjoy the beauty forest while you look down at a long set of rapids and waterfall crashing over the rocks. Some clients prefer to sit outside enjoying the warmth of the campfire and chat to the guides about the mountains and life in their community. Sine is just below the bamboo zone and the area around has many different bird species. 150 meters from the camp is Enock falls which is set in livid green vegetation and hanging vine. Truly beautiful. You can sleep at Sine Camp, or those who are fit and want to proceed to Kalalama Camp at 3,134 metres may do so and apart from the fantastic views
Day 6: After a good breakfast and depending on which camp you slept in depends of todays activities. If you slept in Kalalama Camp you will hear the calls of the Rwenzori Turaco which loves living and nesting in the Giant Heathers which are abundant here. You may choose to search out the Turaco to get good photos or you may decide to climb up at little farther to see the mosses growing on the ground, logs and trees before returning down to just above Sine Camp where you take the trail on the left slope down to Enock Falls which is truly beautiful and walk down through some incredibly beautiful forest. The forest walk is a steady descent through pristine forest with a multitude of birds. There are several patches of bamboo while other areas the trees are laced with hundreds of vines hanging between trees which have bright green lichen on them. This section of forest is spectacular and just before you get to Sine Camp you walk across a stream immediately below a beautiful waterfall. At Sine Camp you sit on the verandah and look down to a stunning set of rapids cascading down the valley.

This park is divided by River Nile into the south and northern region. The northern part that is largely covered by savannah and woodland support a lot more volume and variety of animals compared to the southern region which has a bigger chunk covered by forest. For that matter therefore the game drives are done in the northern area of Murchison Falls. The early start offers a better chance to find elusive predators such as Lions, Hyenas, Leopard, and Jackal because they are still out actively hunting. Explore the game trails towards the Nile delta which is concentrated with big game such as the Elephants, Buffaloes, Giraffes, and so many Antelopes. Enjoy the beautiful savannah landscape that is immersed with plenty of life and wonderful scenery. (Good for photography) The game drive will last for 4 hours, and you will return to the lodge for lunch and relax.
