Activities and Attractions
One staying at Anyadwe House might wonder what activities to do or what attractions they can do, well there are quite a number of things to do and these include;
Boat Excursions
Boat ride along the Nile River offers one a chance to look out for wildlife and birdlife while on the cruise. Wildlife to look out for while on the boat ride include Nile Crocodiles, elephants, water bucks, cape buffaloes, hippos and other antelope species like Uganda kobs that like to feed on the fresh grass that is found on the shores of the river. We usually recommend an afternoon boat ride for a chance to see wildlife that likes to come to the river banks to drink water and also cool off on hot days. For the birding enthusiasts we recommend the Nile Delta boat cruise which offers high chance of seeing the elusive shoebill. The delta boat trip is a quiet and beautiful trip as it has less activity hence offering bird watchers an opportunity to sight different bird species and capture amazing photos without disruption.
Game Drives
Game drives in Murchison Falls National Park happen in the northern section of the park as it is the area with the highest population of wildlife and the best area to go on full day game drives. The game drives start as early as 6:00 am so as to catch some of the nocturnal animals before they go into hiding. You spend the day with your guide looking out for animals in the park such as lions, leopard, elephants, cape buffaloes, olive baboons, hyenas, Rothschild’s giraffes, antelope species and bird species etc. Our guided game drives are carried out in a 4WD vehicles with a pop up roof for easy game viewing experiences. The game drive offers incredible sightings over the open grassland with scattered acacia trees.
