    Ver nice

    It was a super weekend that we just had. We had a Boat trip, game drive and we saw rhinos so close by. Personally our time was limited only to a weekend but we did see a lot and for sure can recommend Frena adventures and our guide Ronnie. It was a pleasure, hope to see gorillas next time!

    Once in a lifetime experience.

    This one is a top agenciesvfor gorilla trekking in Uganda. I went for the same with my family last week. It was 3 days trekking. The directions by the staff was amazing. The director of the company is very responsible and careful. We had a great time in the beautiful forest. It is just unforgettable. The gorillas trekking I can't never forget at all...

    2 Days Murchison Falls Big 5 Savannah wildlife safari: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kigali.

    How much does 2 Days Murchison Falls Big 5 Savannah wildlife safari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $800 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kigali usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Days Murchison Falls Big 5 Savannah wildlife safari take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kigali is not rushed.

    Is 2 Days Murchison Falls Big 5 Savannah wildlife safari worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kigali, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Murchison Falls Big 5 Savannah wildlife safari?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2 Days Murchison Falls Big 5 Savannah wildlife safari suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Days Murchison Falls Big 5 Savannah wildlife safari?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kigali can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kigali and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Days Murchison Falls Big 5 Savannah wildlife safari start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kigali within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kigali?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kigali experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include One-day Akagera National Park Game Drive with a Choice 4x4, One Day Akagera Wildlife Safari, Kigali City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kigali?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kigali?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2 Days Murchison Falls Big 5 Savannah wildlife safari?

    +

    Included: Lunch; and Dinner. Not included: Alcohol. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 2 Days Murchison Falls Big 5 Savannah wildlife safari include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 63 listed pickup locations in and around Kigali. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is 2 Days Murchison Falls Big 5 Savannah wildlife safari offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    +
