African Safari at Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda | Travel with Jaunt Monkey
African Safari and wildlife watching is a dream for many. My first wildlife exposure in the continent was through an African Safari at Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda. This video is about my game drive in Murchison Falls.
Our journey to Murchison Falls National Park started from Kampala. Kampala is the capital of Uganda. Distance from Kampala to Masindi is 214 km. Masidi is the nearest big town of Murchison Falls. And, the distance from Masindi to Murchison Falls is 44 km.
Murchison Falls National Park has an entry fee.
Murchison Falls National Park is the largest national park in Uganda with an excellent opportunity to view wildlife in Uganda. In Murchison falls, you can watch elephants, hippos, lions, antelopes, buffaloes, giraffes, and many more mammals while bird watchers have very many different species of birds.
The sight of river Nile squeezing itself through a narrow gap of 8 meters to plunge down is a majestic view from the top of the falls and also from the bottom by a boat ride.

Murchison Falls National Park Safari - Uganda, Africa 2017
In August, 2017, our charitable organization visited Murchison Falls National Park. Here, our team experienced an incredible sunset and sunrise safari as well as a boat tour of the Nile. I am in awe of the incredible creatures we share this planet with. It is my hope the all humans do their part to preserve, protect, and respect animals so they can be appreciated by many generations that follow us. Please share this video with students, friends, family, or anyone who loves wildlife as much as I do. For more photography from this photographer please visit or follow on Instagram: kylacareswp

Gorilla Trekking Uganda // Adventure Travel Documentary
We went Gorilla Trekking in the Bwindi Forest in Uganda and it was the most intense adventure we've had yet. Obviously, we're excited to present this travel documentary to you about our experience!
Here's the BLUF on this travel adventure:
You can do a gorilla trek in either Rwanda or Uganda. Rwanda recently doubled their prices, so most people are now using Uganda, and we've talked to the guides and they say it's more authentic anyway.
Now, don't be blown away by this, but it's expensive. We had to pay $1200 for this experience (all inclusive). You can rest easy knowing that MOST of that money is just for the permit, which goes to protecting these beautiful animals, giving them medical treatment and guarding them from poachers.
Even then, we thought the price was definitely worth it, to see a silverback gorilla, a baby gorilla, several blackback gorillas, and females intermixed.
The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is super awesome to walk through on it's own, much less to see gorillas. If for some reason you do not see any gorillas, they will refund half of your money for the attempt, so it's a gamble you just have to take.

Uganda: Planning a Trip to National Parks | #WhereisAJ?
AJAY JAIN
Sub-Saharan Africa is teeming with wildlife across many countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Namibia to name a few. But Uganda is where you may want to be in despite it not featuring on too many itineraries.
The Uganda Wildlife Authority ( is doing a good job managing over 10 national parks and I was fortunate to visit three of their finest recently. Join me in my game drives and plan your own itinerary accordingly.
PARKS VISITED
* Murchison Falls National Park
* Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
* Queen Elizabeth National Park (drove through Ishasha wildlife sector to get here and got a good sense of this park too)
PLANNING AN ITINERARY IN UGANDA’S NATIONAL PARKS
No amount of time is enough is you really love being in the wild and close to its flora and fauna. But we all need to draw a line somewhere - do provision for at least 2-3 full days in each park. When you visit Bwindi, you can be there for just two nights - you arrive on day one, go gorilla tracking the following morning, and return the following day.
MAIN ATTRACTIONS OF EACH NATIONAL PARK
* Murchison Falls National Park: It gets its name from falls by the same name on the Nile river. Don’t miss out on a river cruise where you can get close to the falls and feels sprays all over you (and your cameras!!). The river itself is home to countless hippos and crocodiles while the park boasts an impressive line-up to include lions, leopards, elephants, hyenas, giraffes, water buffaloes and many species of birds, reptiles and other mammals. The landscape draws you in - from the crack of dawn till night falls. Magical is the word for Murchison.
* Bwindi Impenetrable National Park: You go to Bwindi for the endangered Mountain Gorillas. They sure make you work hard for the sightings. Expect to be out all day tracking them through thick forests and slushy paths; the hilly terrain tests you, and be prepared to fall, slip and slide on your backside. A good scrub is what you will need at the end - but the sightings of gorillas will leave you glowing.
* Queen Elizabeth National Park: Another park that will leave you stunned with its virgin beauty. Elephants are to be found in abundance here - as are many other species of birds and animals. Take sunset cruises in the Kazinga channel and go up close to hippos, water buffaloes, crocs and thousands of birds hovering around you. Vast plains with pockets of thick forests make game drives a pleasure and an adventure - you never know what lurks around the corner.
SELECTING THE RIGHT GAME DRIVE VEHICLE AND GUIDE
Your experience in the jungle is largely shaped by your guides and the vehicles they use. You can choose from the comfortable closed vehicles with an opening in the roof or from those open on all sides; I prefer the latter as I can shoot from all angles and also remove the soft covers should I need angles from higher up. I always interview guides before selecting one - not only is their knowledge important, but they should have a good sense and intuition in tracking animals. Of course, no one can guarantee any sightings.
DO YOU BOOK A GAME DRIVE VEHICLE ALL FOR YOURSELF OR SHARE?
It all depends on your budget. A shared vehicle in obviously cheaper but it gives you lesser flexibility in choosing shooting positions as well as asking the guides to take you to your areas of interest. Personally, I save elsewhere but prefer to have a vehicle and guide to myself. I cherish the relative privacy too - it resonates well with the silence of the forest.
HOW DO YOU TRAVEL BETWEEN NATIONAL PARKS IN UGANDA?
Most parks in Uganda are within a few hours driving distance of each other. Of course, it can take longer if you were to go directly from, say, Murchison to Bwindi. The road network in quite extensive in Uganda, and they are mostly of good quality with low traffic density. You can also book rides on small planes that land on strips inside reserves but these are more expensive than equivalent flights in countries like Kenya; lower numbers in Uganda lead to higher operating costs here.

TOUR & TRAVEL CARS ARS SAFARI- MAURICE OCHOL UGANDAN JOURNALIST
A number of Uganda Tour operators want government to intervene and help in the subsidization of the tour vehicles that are used by tour operators in Uganda.
This is due to the fact that tour operators’s vehicles cost quite alot of money in which one vehicle goes for over 75 thousand dollars.
So far tourism in Uganda is one of the top income and foreign exchange earners of Ugandan’s economy 2.7 trillion annually.
As Maurice Ochol reports ,RSA Safari cruiser a company based in tanzania has been in charge of making vehicles for tour companies in Africa which cost quite a lot for tour companies especially for the ones that are just starting in Uganda.
