At 3840 sq km this is Uganda's largest park, and is home to
elephant, buffalo, all the big cats and is well known for its
birdlife - Shoebill being a sought after rarity. It also has
a large population of hippo and huge crocodiles. As well as
game drives we will take the cruise up the
Nile River
to the foot of the Falls, a magical trip through some beautiful
scenery. (Cruise not included) The whole of the Nile River is
forced into a gap only 8m wide - the immense force of water
and the views of the Falls are awe-inspiring

Budongo Forest is an isolated block of the Forest which has
never been logged, and is characterised by its huge mahogany
