Daytrip Boat Safari at Murchison Falls – Explore the Nile with Uganda Horizon Safaris
Experience the ultimate Murchison Falls boat safari – a once-in-a-lifetime adventure into the heart of Uganda’s wild beauty. Uganda Horizon Safaris invites you to cruise the mighty Nile River and witness Africa’s most powerful waterfall from the best seat in the house – a safari boat gliding through the wild.
🚤 Why Choose a Boat Safari at Murchison Falls?
Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda’s largest and oldest conservation area, home to an incredible range of wildlife, birds, and river ecosystems. A boat safari to the base of the falls offers a perspective no land safari can match – up close and immersive.
As you glide along the river, you’ll witness herds of elephants bathing, pods of hippos grunting in the shallows, crocodiles sunning themselves, and buffaloes grazing by the banks. With over 450 bird species, including the rare shoebill stork, it’s also a dream destination for bird watchers.
