A BIG SAFARI TO UGAND’S NATIONAL PARKS

Through the famous Luwero Triangle and Masindi Town, we accessed Murchison Falls national park via Budongo forest, proceeded to the top of the spectacular fall where we saw the Nile's perfected beauty, and marvel as it compressed and squeezed itself from over 1 kilometer wide down through a 7-meter canyon. The 150-meter drop of the falls created a thunderous roar and a beautiful rainbow in a plume of spray - the best thing to ever happen to the Nile. In the evening, we enjoyed the sunset as we returned to the superb comfort and service of Paraa Uganda Safari Lodge for a night.

At sunset, embarked on an early morning game drive on the northern bank where mutesa the guide spotted a family of elephants, 2 lion, Cape buffalo, giraffes, waterbucks and hyenas later we viewed hippos, crocodiles and Uganda kobs.we also viewed bird species including goliath herons, Egyptian geese, pelican bee-eaters, kingfishers, Hombills, cormorants and the rare shoebill stork.
