3 Days Murchison Falls Uganda Safari — FAQs

Murchison Falls National Park is in northwestern Uganda and can easily be accessed by road from Kampala for about 7 -8 hours. Alternatively, a local plane can be chartered from Entebbe International Airport to Pakuba landing site which is just near the park entrance. Our expert travel team is at hand to carefully plan your trip.

Uganda experiences favorable weather all year round and it is quite easy to enjoy your 3 days Murchison Falls tour. However we recommend the drier months of January, February, June and July. Game drives are more fun in the dry season as animals gather around water sources to quench their thirst.

A pair pf binoculars, a hat and sunglasses, breathable clothes especially in the dry season, hiking boots and a backpack.
