    Amazing people, amazing country Uganda

    Everything from the start when Herman our guide picked us up from Entebbe airport, during our 3days safari trip until the end when the CEO from Inspire African Safaris office, David said farewell.. was amazing, beautiful words are not enough! We came to Uganda on the 28th June, Herman picked us up and took us to the hotel for dinner and sleepover. Beautiful gardens and delicious dinner were all meant at the hotel and this was rather than 7 seasons hotel in Entebbe. At the hotel Herman informed us about our safari plan, and all that was necessary to have successfull trip was discussed. On 29th, we wake up very early in morning, got our selves ready for breakfast, at exactly 6am we were starting our journey to Zziwa Rhino Sanctuary. On our way we made several stopovers to buy fresh fish and fruits for our enjoyment after the day. By 10am we had arrived at Zziwa Rhino to get ready for our Rhino trekking, the rangers briefed us and everyone was eager to see the Rhinos. It was a life time experience seeing the Rhinos in their homes. By 1pm we had finished the trekking and we headed to Kindergarten restaurant for lunch and some refreshments in order to embark ,so after lunch it was all set for us for Murchison falls national park, on arriving at the park, we trekked to the top of the falls which was all amazing seeing the waters fall, the we had to go to the Lodge for rest and dinner to prepare for next day game drive, the next day activities we had to wake up at 6am had breakfast and at exactly 7am our guide Herman was ready for us for the game drive, during the drive, we saw Africa's big five and his was a great experience for us, with all the organization the trip went on very well, we cannot regret exploring with Inspire African Safaris

    Breathtaking Trip to Murchison the Largest Park in Uganda with Richards

    My Guide Richard was brief and straight to Point, Very Smart and Organised. He picked me on time, and along the route we passed via Karuma Falls in a very comfortable Van, Saw lots of Baboons on the way and it came to our Car for some yellow Bananas I got to experience the beauty of Uganda and discovered a lot, "I only envy that man who says he has traveled but not been to Uganda" My trip was a success because I enjoyed Much More than even I thought. I strongly recommend Richards, Try him for your short and long excursions for gorillas, chimpanzee and hiking. I will probably travel again in June. Thank You Guys at airways Tours and Travels

    Response from the operator: Thank You very Much Eliza for this complement, We hope to Travel with you again. You were an amazing Guest to us

    3-Days Safari to Murchison Falls National Park with Rhino Sanctuary hike: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 3-Days Safari to Murchison Falls National Park with Rhino Sanctuary hike cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,282 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kampala usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3-Days Safari to Murchison Falls National Park with Rhino Sanctuary hike take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 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 Kampala is not rushed.

    Is 3-Days Safari to Murchison Falls National Park with Rhino Sanctuary hike worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kampala, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Days Safari to Murchison Falls National Park with Rhino Sanctuary hike?

    +

    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 3-Days Safari to Murchison Falls National Park with Rhino Sanctuary hike suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3-Days Safari to Murchison Falls National Park with Rhino Sanctuary hike?

    +

    Around 2 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 Kampala 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 Kampala and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3-Days Safari to Murchison Falls National Park with Rhino Sanctuary hike 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 Kampala 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 Kampala?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kampala experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kampala’s Best Experience walking tour, Kampala Walking City Tours (Women-Guided), Kampala Heart of Walking Adventure. 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 Kampala?

    +

    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 Kampala?

    +

    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.
