A safari journey from Jinja to Murchison Falls is one of the most exciting and rewarding travel experiences.
The trip usually takes about five days, starting from Jinja with many interesting stops along the way. One of the first stops is Mabira Forest, where tourists can enjoy zip-lining for about four hours or take a nature walk to see animals like red-tailed monkeys and grey-cheeked mangabeys. Visitors will also see birds such as the Great Blue Turaco, Purple-throated Cuckoo, Cassin’s Hawk-Eagle, and hornbills.
After Mabira, tourists return to Jinja for an evening boat cruise at the Source of the Nile, which lasts about two hours. They can then continue to Itanda Falls.
At Itanda Falls, tourists can enjoy activities like white-water rafting, bungee jumping, quad biking, and community visits. After these adventures, the journey continues to Murchison Falls.
Before entering the park, a stop at Budongo Forest gives tourists a chance to see chimpanzees, birds like hornbills and cuckoos, and enjoy nature walks.
Inside Murchison Falls National Park, the adventure continues with game drives where tourists can see animals such as elephants, lions, buffaloes, and leopards. Bird species and reptiles like the Nile crocodile and Nile perch can also be spotted.
Another special part of the safari is visiting nearby African villages like Boomu Community. Here, tourists learn about the local way of life, including traditional cooking, dancing, and crafts—a memory worth taking home.
