Safari in Murchison Falls NP

Country forums / Africa / Uganda

Hi

Myself and 2 friends are looking into doing a 3/4 day safari in Murchison Falls NP. Can anyone recommend a good safari company. I've looked a few websites and they all generally do the same route and see the same things.

I just like to get reviews on any companies people have used in the past??

Thanks in advance.

I arranged my visit to Murchison with the help of the New Court View Hotel in Masindi.

I used to live close to Masindi, and I normally just used a local driver (friend) to take me around for game drives. But like kaz said, New Court View can help you. Its not really a safari company, but they are quite helpfull and can pretty sure catch you up with a driver who can take you around in the park.
Otherwise I know there is the Red Chilli hostel, where you will travel from kampala, on a trip for 2-3 days. The thing is that you travel in "big" groups if you go with red chilli - normally with other young studens/tourist. That could be a funny way to meet new people.

try G&G travels for best and low costs

I would also recommend Red Chili, espescially if you want to meet with other people. The tour is quite well organized and you won`t do it cheaper on your own.

Not true, HLAdr4, unless you are travelling alone - if there are 2 or more of you it can definitely be done for less than you would have to pay for the Red Chilli trip.

@ kaz: you`re right! For 3 persons it can be cheaper to do it on your own.
