Located in northwestern Uganda, Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda’s largest and oldest conservation area, renowned for its diverse wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and the iconic Murchison Falls. Here, the mighty Nile River squeezes through a narrow 7 metre gorge before plunging 43 metres, creating one of Africa’s most powerful and spectacular waterfalls.
The park is home to an abundance of wildlife, including the Big Four lion, leopard, elephant, and Cape buffalo as well as giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, antelopes, and over 450 bird species. Visitors can enjoy exciting game drives across the savannah, boat cruises along the Nile to the base of the falls, guided nature walks, and unforgettable birdwatching experiences.
With its combination of dramatic scenery, abundant wildlife, and the world’s longest river flowing through its heart, Murchison Falls National Park offers one of Uganda’s most rewarding safari experiences.
