      Day 3: Second Fishing Session & Murchison Hike<\/span>
      Enjoy another thrilling half or full day on the water. In the afternoon, you can embark on a hiking trail to the top of the falls to feel the immense power of the rushing water.<\/p>

      Day 4: Morning Game Drive & Departure<\/span>
