Amazing wildlife up close and personal!
I had a great experience with EAJS for my two-day Murchison falls tour (not 3 day due to my availability)! I chose this company because they included the hike to the top of the falls, the Nile boat cruise, a brief sunset game drive on the way to our accommodations, an early morning game drive, and a visit to Ziwa Rhino sanctuary. I feel like other similar itineraries did not also include the trip to the rhino sanctuary which I really enjoyed! I had the same driver, Eddie, for my Bwindi Gorilla trek one weekend and the Murchison Falls trip the next weekend. He made me feel safe as a solo female traveler and was always happy to tell me more information about Uganda, Luganda phrases, and the animals I was seeing. I chose the budget option and stayed at Parkside Safari Lodge which is just outside the park and had some of my favorite food of the trip so far! I had a standalone room and I was able to get good service with my international plan. The WiFi does not reach the huts, I did not try it in the main building but supposedly works well there. The first activity was visiting the top of the falls which is about a 1 hour easy-level hike. You will get very wet close to the falls and it is slippery to walk! I wore quick dry clothes and was completely dry by the time I got back to the car. We immediately went from the falls to the Nile boat cruise (we were slightly behind so did not grab lunch, though this is part of the itinerary, per my choice as I had snacks with me and we stopped for a brief coffee/snack on the way to Murchison). I think the timing of the boat cruise around 2 pm is ideal for seeing more wildlife as this is typically when many animals seek out water. I saw hippos, crocodiles, waterbucks, giraffes, elephants, warthogs, and many different types of birds! After the ~3 hour cruise, we went on a sunset game drive through the park to reach Parkside Safari Lodge and saw baboons, hartebeests, Uganda kobs, oribi, elephants, and other animals along the way. On the early morning game drive I saw many giraffes, vultures, Cape buffalo, monkeys, etc. I did not catch any predators like lions or leopards unfortunately but friends I met on the tour did see a leopard! We then had lunch at Ziwa rhino sanctuary and I completed an easy trek on flat terrain to the rhinos. I was fortunate to see five zebras along the way as well! I saw seven rhinos and I was within about 10 ft of a grazing rhino at one point! It was an awesome experience and my guide Martine was a great storyteller who provided interesting backstory about the rhinos and the sanctuary’s history. I would absolutely recommend spending time in Murchison Falls with EAJS. Don’t forget to bring money to tip the boat tour guides, the rhino sanctuary guide, your host at your accommodations, etc. I would recommend trying to add a night time game drive to your trip, if possible, to increase your chances of seeing lions and leopards!

3 Day Trip to Murchison Falls National Park
The administrative communications from Ruth were first rate. All my emails were answered promptly and provided all required information succinctly and efficiently. She offered practical advice and information to help us. Our tour guide to Murchison Fall National Park, Hussein, was first rate - he did all he could to make our trip as enjoyable as possible. Our enjoyment and welfare were foremost with him throughout our trip. He shared his knowledge and insights as often as he could and strove at all times to give us the best possible experience. He was always punctual, very courteous and very pleasant company. He dropped us to our desired location in Entebbe at the time that we had requested at the end of our trip. The vehicle for the tour was perfectly suitable, reliable and comfortable. Overall, we had a really memorable trip and I would fully recommend this company. They provided excellent value and service.

2 days trip to Murchion Fall National Park
I was on a business trip in Kampala, thus I wanted to extend to a short safari. I found EAJS, through the Safari Tours website, it was my first time in Africa and I’ve been unfortunately scammed at other parts of the world before, so I wanted to be sure I find something totally legit. From the first communications with Ruth via email until the last moment with my tourguide Ronnie it was 10/10!. Ruth is very professional and fast responding to emails, finances were settled super correctly( I was even able to pay in EUR the second half of my settlement on site). And Ronnie, well he is like Uganda which is the Pearl of Africa; Ronnie is the Pearl of Safaris. Great talker, funny, he gives you more information than Wikipedia on animals, surroundings and the country itself. He is the Man! Thank you once again to both of them to make my 2 day safari unforgettable even as a single person.

Unforgettable Adventure with East African Tour Led by Ronnie
My recent experience with East African Tour in Uganda remains a highlight of my travel history. The company allowed for a vibrant exploration of the Murchison Falls, an awe-inspiring spectacle on the Nile River. Our guide, Ronnie, contributed immensely to the overall richness of the journey. His comprehensive understanding of Ugandan history and culture added a unique depth to our trip. His warm demeanor and engaging storytelling held our interest as we navigated through the fascinating narratives of the nation's past. Yet, it was not just the cultural insight that distinguished Ronnie; his knack for bringing Uganda's natural beauty into the limelight remained unparalleled. Through his guidance, we encountered majestic Rhinos, elegant Giraffes, impressive Elephants, mighty Lions, and various exotic birds. Each sighting held us captive, underlining the diversity and splendor of Ugandan wildlife. What left an impression was Ronnie's evident passion and respect for nature. His accurate identification of wildlife and his sincere concern for their habitats heightened the significance of our tour. The unforgettable sight of Murchison Falls, the robust force of the Nile River, and the pulsating life within the Ugandan wilderness made this an unforgettable experience. If you plan a tour in Uganda, East African Tour should be your choice. Ask for Ronnie as your guide for an adventure that you will treasure forever. His expertise and the company's commitment to professionalism and well-structured itineraries made for an incomparable journey. Thank you, East African Tour, and especially Ronnie, for revealing the heart of Uganda to us. We look forward to future encounters.

Great guide, exceptional value
Purchase was straightforward and problem free. Our guide Ronnie met us at our hotel and drove us throughout our trip. The rhino sanctuary was enjoyable. The game drives were the highlight. We saw everything we wanted to see and our guide ensured the experience was tailored to our interests. He was knowledgeable and prepared to answer our questions about mammals, birds, and Uganda. Accommodations were warm and beautifully situated, and the food was always generously portioned and good. Ronnie adjusted to accommodate some of our specific requests, adjusting timelines and emphases as needed. For the value it simply can’t be beat.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Days Trip To Murchison Falls: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kampala.
How much does 3 Days Trip To Murchison Falls cost?
+
Prices start at $1,100 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 Trip To Murchison Falls 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 Trip To Murchison Falls worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Kampala, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Days Trip To Murchison Falls?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 3 Days Trip To Murchison Falls 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 Trip To Murchison Falls?
+
Around 4 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 Trip To Murchison Falls 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.
