NILE CRUISE
Go there and contact
Like the outing on the Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth National Park, this Nile cruise, which has been undeniably popular for more than six decades, is a must not to be missed! In three hours round trip, the boat, whose roof offers a 360° view, peacefully winds its way up the current along the banks - lined with papyrus, palm trees, mahogany and acacia trees - where huge crocodiles can be seen lazing about, lazy hippos, buffaloes cooling off, antelopes (especially the crescent beak) lying in wait, elephants having fun and more rarely giraffes wading, a lichen lion or a leopard drinking... Birds are still very numerous, like the golden-breasted jacana, the African jabiru, the red-throated bee-eater, the heron goliath, the African piapiac, the kingfisher, the African scissor-bill and tutti quanti. The excursion on the wave of the mighty river culminates at the arrival in the Fajao Gorge from where the impressive Murchison Falls cataracting in a narrow gully are visible in the axis of the river. The 45-metre high falls will reveal itself even more if you disembark here and walk to the top of the falls. The cruises organized by the UWA (30 US$) leave from Paraa (left bank) at 9am and 2pm. Wild Frontiers (www.wildfrontiers.co.ug) organizes its own expeditions (US$32), also from Paraa, at 8:30am and 2pm. In case of heavy traffic, a third departure is scheduled at 11am.
