Pick you from your hotel/ lodge at 7.00 am. Begin the panoramic drive northwestwards passing through the famous Luwero triangle with a brief stop over for lunch at Masindi hotel or Court view hotel. Drive to the park through the Budongo forest. Our action packed safari inside the park begins by driving straight to the top of the falls. Here you will marvel at the sight of the river Nile exploding violently as it compresses from 50 meters and squeezes through a narrow cleft of 6 meters and then plunging with a thunderous roar into a frothing pool 43 meters below creating a beautiful rainbow and a plume of spray.
Optional activities: Rhino tracking at Zziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Hiking at the top of the falls.
