Our 4 days luxury Uganda fishing safari is a 3 nights/4 days spot fishing safari in Uganda trip to Murchison Falls National Park which is specially designed for sport fishing in Uganda trip lovers who are all about the big catch with a mix of Uganda wildlife safaris and tours.
Murchison is the largest national park in Uganda, renowned for its scenic beauty, spectacular Nile River and the Murchison falls, and abundant wildlife including the world’s largest population of the endangered Rothschild’s giraffes, Lions, Leopards, Elephants, Buffalos, Uganda Kobs, Hartebeests, Crocodiles, Hippos, and Waterbucks and over 450 bird species including the iconic Shoebills.
This 4 days luxury Uganda fishing safari includes 2 full fishing days along the River Nile banks, with the large Nile Perch and Tigerfish offering the main challenge. The record for rod and line in Murchison was established by Kevin Nicholson in 2013. His mammoth catch weighed 114kg; just eclipsing Tim Smith’s 113kg catch in 2009, but far heavier than the previous official record of 73kg, set by C D Mardach in 1959.
This Uganda safari trip also includes 2 game drives, a hike to the top of the world’s powerful waterfall – Murchison Falls, and Rhino tracking in Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary on foot.
The 4 days luxury fishing safari in Uganda tour involves spending nights at the luxury Paraa Safari Lodge which is also a perfect starting point for the fishing encounter and the game viewing. The vehicle is a 4X4 Luxury extended Land Cruiser with great comfort and a magical wild game viewing experience.
