3 Days Uganda Safari during Easter Holidays to Murchison Falls National Park

3 Days Uganda Safari during Easter Holidays to Murchison Falls National Park. Spend your Easter holidays surrounded by the untamed beauty of Uganda’s largest national park — Murchison Falls National Park. Known for its spectacular waterfalls, diverse wildlife, and picturesque landscapes along the Nile River, this park offers a perfect short getaway for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. This 3-day safari is designed to give you an immersive wildlife experience, boat cruises, and a close-up encounter with the powerful Murchison Falls, all while celebrating the Easter season in the heart of Uganda’s wilderness.


Day 1: Transfer from Kampala to Murchison Falls National Park

Early Morning Departure
Your Easter safari adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel or residence in Kampala or Entebbe. After a short briefing by your safari guide, embark on a scenic drive northwards towards Murchison Falls National Park. Along the way, enjoy views of the beautiful countryside, small towns, and roadside markets.

Stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary
On your way to the park, you will have a stopover at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, the only place in Uganda where you can track wild rhinos on foot. This is a unique opportunity to observe these majestic creatures up close in their natural habitat.

Proceed to Murchison Falls and Visit the Top of the Falls
After lunch en route, continue to Murchison Falls National Park, arriving in the afternoon. Upon entering the park, you’ll proceed directly to the Top of the Falls, where the Nile River forces itself through a narrow 7-meter gorge and plunges 43 meters below. The sight and sound of the roaring falls is truly mesmerizing — a perfect Easter moment to connect with nature.

Check-in and Relax
Later, check in at your lodge or camp, freshen up, and relax as you enjoy the serene views of the African wilderness. In the evening, enjoy dinner and prepare for an exciting game drive the following day.

Accommodation Options:

  • Paraa Safari Lodge (Luxury)

  • Pakuba Safari Lodge (Mid-range)

  • Red Chilli Rest Camp (Budget)


Day 2: Morning Game Drive and Afternoon Nile Boat Cruise

Early Morning Game Drive
After an early breakfast, set out for a morning game drive on the northern bank of the Nile. This area is rich in wildlife, and you can expect to see elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, hyenas, antelopes, and a variety of bird species. The early hours are the best time to spot predators before they retreat from the rising heat.

Lunch Break at the Lodge
Return to your lodge for a well-deserved lunch and a bit of relaxation by the pool or veranda, enjoying the sights and sounds of the park.

Afternoon Boat Cruise on the Nile
In the afternoon, head to the Paraa jetty for a boat cruise along the Nile towards the base of Murchison Falls. This boat trip is a highlight of the safari, offering excellent opportunities to spot crocodiles, hippos, elephants, and an array of water birds including the elusive shoebill stork. The cruise takes you to the base of the thunderous falls, where you’ll have a chance to take photos and appreciate the falls from below.

Optional Hike to the Top of the Falls
Adventurous visitors can opt for a guided hike to the top of the falls from the boat landing, providing a different and exhilarating perspective of the powerful waterfall.

Evening Relaxation
After the boat cruise or hike, return to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.


Day 3: Return to Kampala via Masindi

Leisurely Breakfast and Departure
Enjoy a relaxed breakfast at the lodge as you savor your last moments in the park. You’ll then check out and begin your journey back to Kampala or Entebbe, passing through Masindi town.

Optional Stopovers
If time permits, you can make brief stopovers for craft shopping or local snacks along the way.

Arrival in Kampala/Entebbe
You will arrive in Kampala or Entebbe in the afternoon, marking the end of your memorable Easter holiday safari to Murchison Falls National Park.

This 3 Days Uganda Safari during the Easter Holidays offers a refreshing break from the city bustle, combining wildlife adventure, river experiences, and breathtaking natural wonders. Murchison Falls National Park is a gem for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers, and this short safari ensures you return home with unforgettable Easter memories and a deeper appreciation for Uganda’s natural treasures.
