Other animals you might see include Rothschild giraffes, bushbucks, warthogs, waterbuck and a variety of antelope. At lunchtime you will return to the lodge and then go on a thrilling launch cruise down the Nile in the afternoon. Sail close to the bottom of the falls and take in the various birds, numerous hippos and giant crocodiles on the banks. If you are lucky, you may see the rare shoe bill stork plus various other bird species within this area. Your dinner and overnight will be at the lodge.

After breakfast you will set off for Jinja Town to visit the source of the mighty Nile, Africa’s longest river. You will arrive in the early evening and relax at your lodge until dinner time.
