8-Day Eastern Uganda Adventure Safari
Nile Source, Waterfall Abseiling & Murchison Wildlife
About This Safari
Uganda's eastern flank is its most exhilarating — a region of roaring rivers, thundering waterfalls, coffee-scented highland villages, and ancient wildlife spectacles. This eight-day adventure takes you from the source of the world's longest river at Jinja, up to the triple cascades of Sipi Falls for white-water rafting and cliff abseiling, then north to Murchison Falls where the entire Nile forces through a seven-metre gap. Add rare white rhino tracking and a canoe hunt for the prehistoric shoebill stork, and you have a safari unlike any other in East Africa.
