Day 1 – Flight to Murchison Falls Park:
Your adventure begins as we pick you up from your Kampala hotel at 10:30 am and whisk you off to Entebbe International Airport. Upon arrival, around 12:00 noon, you’ll check in with Aerolink for your flight to Pakuba Airstrip in Murchison Falls National Park. This is where the magic of Murchison Falls Park awaits.
At Pakuba Airstrip, you’ll be greeted by your knowledgeable and experienced Driver-Guide, who will be your trusted companion throughout this journey. From here, a short drive takes you to the magnificent Paraa Safari Lodge, perched above the River Nile. The lodge offers an array of accommodation options, from standard rooms to suites, luxury safari tents, and the exclusive Queen’s Cottage.
After a delectable lunch at Paraa Safari Lodge, the afternoon holds the promise of your first game drive. In the company of your driver and a Uganda Wildlife Ranger, embark on a 3-hour adventure. Keep your eyes peeled for lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, antelopes, warthogs, buffaloes, and more.
As evening descends, prepare for a traditional sundowner cruise on the Nile, complete with drinks and snacks. In Uganda, the preferred drink of choice is Uganda Waragi, best enjoyed with Krest Bitter Lemon, wine, beer, or other options. This sundowner tradition, dating back to colonial days, pays homage to the bygone era when a Gin and Tonic was the norm, laced with quinine to combat malaria. Today, we rely on Malarone for malaria prevention, but the tradition lives on.
