Things to see & do while staying at Nile Safari Lodge in Murchison Falls National Park.
Game drives in Murchison Falls National Park: It’s common practice for most visitors staying at Nile Safari Lodge to drive to the Northern Sector of Murchison Falls National park for a Safari drive. People depart the lodge grounds as early as 6:30 am hoping to use about 15 minutes to get to the Park gate of Mubako which opens at 07:00 am). Game drives in Murchison falls could last the entire day, but traditionally, most travel itineraries have them planned for the morning (lasting about 03 hours).

Boat trip to the Bottom of the Murchison Falls: This trip is not to be missed. There are two places to start this tour: In Katunguru or Mweya. The trip starting in Katuguru is run by the community members and is characterised by crowds and large school groups. The Mweya trip, although somewhat crowded during the peak/high season months of June-August and December-February, will offer a fruitful experience. One other important thing about choosing the Mweya Experience is that you get to drive in the park for about 40 minutes, which means you will have an added advantage of getting to encounter more wildlife on both your trip to/and back from Mweya. Some of the amazing sightings on this drive include: leopards, lions, Elephants, buffalo and more.
Chimpanzee tracking in Budongo Forest: Budongo Forest is fast becoming a favourite spot to visit for most visitors staying at Nile Safari Lodge. Chimpanzee tracking in the Budongo Forest is exhilarating….. It’s here that you get to walk down into an actual gorge, with a river flowing below to track Chimpanzees. Although the chimpanzee sightings stand at about a 70% success rate, the walk into the gorge is worthwhile.

Visit the Kikorongo Equator Point: During your stay at Nile Safari Lodge, please make arrangements to drive about 25 minutes on the route to Kasese. You can’t miss the well-signed decorative Equator point at Kikorongo. Here you will have the chance to have photos of yourself taken at the equator line in Western Uganda. At this same location, there are local tour guides willing to take you through the Equator line water experience for a fee of about $3.
Visit the Queens Pavilion at Kikorongo: The Equator Line at Kikorongo, and the Queens Pavilion can be visited on the same day, as they are just a stone’s throw from each other. The Queen’s Pavilion is the point where Queen Elizabeth II, and the Duke of Edinbrough stood glancing at the beautiful scenery of the present Murchison Falls National Park (which was originally Kabalega National Park), only renamed to commemorate the Queens Visit in 1954. Learn more about the Queen’s Pavillion in Murchison Falls national Park.
Go on the Katwe Explosion Crater Drive: This drive combines well with a visit to the Equator Line in Kikorongo and the Queen’s Pavilion. The drive through the explosion craters of Queen Elizabeth National Park is an off-beat experience, not many tourists get to enjoy, as many of them are on short day trips that don’t allow for ample time to explore the entire park. Please ensure you have a reliable vehicle with its 4×4 working, as this route is rugged. The duration for this drive is approximately 02 hours.
