Watch as the savannah awakens with golden light over the Albert Nile. Return for lunch at the lodge, then embark on an afternoon boat cruise to the base of Murchison Falls, one of Africa’s most powerful waterfalls. Spot hippos, crocodiles, and abundant birdlife along the riverbanks, including the iconic shoebill stork.
