Day 4Transfer back to Entebbe
After breakfast you will drive to the top of the Murchison Falls. The top of the fall is a magnificent spot where the Nile water compresses into a narrow gorge and falls down through a 7 meter canyon forming a thunderous roar and a beautiful rainbow in a plume of water spray. A true wonder of the Nile River! You may also choose to go for a bonus game drive in the park instead. After enjoying the spectacular view of the falls or your morning game drive you will check-out of the lodge and make your way back to Entebbe for your flight home.
