The safaris are mainly on the right bank of the Nile and more particularly on a fairly tight network of tracks between Paraa and the Lake Albert Delta, known as the Buligi Circuit. All hotels provide a snack (or breakfast pack) before you set off on your adventure. With its vast expanses of savannah dotted with rookeries (the Borassus track, a trail that runs through the northern part of the park, owes its name to the scientific name of these palm trees), Murchison Park probably offers the closest landscapes to our vision of the African bush. You can see elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, hartebeests, cobes, harnessed guibs, lions and, hopefully, leopards. And of course, myriads of birds: eagles, kingfishers, bee-eaters, bustards, francolins, hornbills, barbicans, flycatchers... In the other areas of the park, you will certainly see monkeys and small antelopes, but the large mammals are less numerous or more difficult to observe. However, from about a chandelier, UWA has been trying to develop game drives on the left bank of the river. Thus, the Honeymoon track, near Murchison Falls, allows to observe giraffes, transferred from the right bank in 2016. If you travel independently, you can hire the services of a park ranger for US$20. This is not mandatory, but he will be of great help in finding the animals.
