Murchison Falls and Kidepo Valley National Park once had both black and white rhinos; however, widespread poaching during the Idi Amin era resulted in the disappearance of these majestic animals from the wild. Founded in 1998, Rhino Fund Uganda works to reintroduce black and white rhinos into Uganda and runs a breeding program. Murchison Falls National Park is the largest conservation area in Uganda, covering an area of over 3,840 km². You will have lunch in Masindi and continue to your lodge in the evening for dinner and an overnight stay.
