On arrival, you will be met by your guide and taken to your hotel where you will settle in after your flight. We will be staying at ViaVia, a cosy first nights stay with campfires, hammocks, dazzling garden and delicious healthy food – a truly heartwarming experience that’s very hard to beat. We will meet for a welcoming dinner, then sit around the campfire discussing what the next few days have in store for us. Tomorrow morning calls for an early start as we head to Murchison Falls National Park for a hike up the fall and of course, wildlife sightings.

Murchison Falls National Park that comprises of beautiful savannah landscapes and plenty of wildlife, is divided by River Nile into the south and northern region. The northern part is largely covered by savannah and woodland, supporting a lot more volume and variety of animals compared to the southern region which has a bigger chunk covered by forest. The game drives here are done in the northern area of the Murchison Falls and an early start offers a better chance to find elusive predators such as Lion, Hyena, Leopard and Jackal as they are still actively out hunting. Explore the game trails towards the Lake Albert Delta which is concentrated with big game including Elephant, Buffalo, Giraffe and various antelope. Boat rides here at the falls also offers an array of wildlife and common sightings include Crocodile, Hippo, and Lizard. Big game such as Buffalo and Elephant can also be sighted drinking and cooling off the heat by the river banks.

Another early start (6:00) as today we will head into Murchison Falls National Park for a game drive which will for sure be one of the many highlights of this retreat. Game drives last for about 4 hours, a time to take in the beautiful savannah landscape that is immersed with plenty of life and wonderful scenery.

The Park is divided by the Nile River 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, 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 Lake Albert delta which is concentrated with big game such as the Elephant, Buffalo, Giraffe, and various Antelope.

We will be back at the lodge for a late breakfast and relaxation. After lunch we will set out for a 2hr boat cruise which sets off at Paraa, going upstream to the base of the Murchison Falls. Boat rides offers an array of wildlife sightings like Crocodile, Hippo, Lizard, Buffalo, Elephants and Antelopes, usually drinking and cooling off in the heat of the day by the river banks.

Day 3; Safari, boat cruise & yoga

Start the morning with gratitude as we meet out in nature, listening to the sounds as the surrounding forest awakes. This beautiful flow as you connect with your breath, will certainly make you feel renewed and ready for what the day has in store. We will be heading to Kibale National Park after breakfast. The drive today is quite long and can take up to 8 hours, but totally worth it. The Kibale Forest National Park is known as one of the best safari destinations in Africa for chimpanzee trekking. There are 13 primate species living within this park, and it is home to 70 mammal species and 375 species of birds. 351 tree species have been recorded, with some older than 200 years, reaching above 55m. Not only is Kibale NP one of Africa’s foremost research sits for chimpanzees and other primates found in the park, but also wild pigs, fish species and Kibale’s lush ecosystem. No wonder is known as one of Uganda’s most rewarding areas to explore.
