Journey Overview

Ever wanted to follow the Nile from a thundering waterfall to its gentler streams? This 5-day safari and Nile adventure takes you through Uganda’s most iconic landscapes, combining classic game drives with unforgettable river experiences.

Search for lions, elephants, and giraffes in Murchison Falls National Park, cruise the Nile to the roaring base of the falls, and drift through the bird-rich Nile Delta. Then trace the river east to Jinja, the historic Source of the Nile, where you can choose between a heart-pounding rafting adventure or a peaceful boat cruise.

It’s more than a safari, it’s a multi-activity journey that blends wildlife, waterfalls, and river thrills. With flexible options, this trip suits both adventurous travellers who prefer a gentler pace.
