Murchison Falls

A Natural Marvel

Uganda’s largest and oldest national park, is home to one of Africa’s most stunning natural wonders. The park’s namesake, Murchison Falls, is a breathtaking spectacle where the mighty Nile River forces its way through a narrow gorge and plunges 43 meters down, creating a powerful cascade. The thunderous roar and misty spray of the falls are awe-inspiring, offering visitors an unforgettable experience of nature’s raw power. Nearby viewpoints provide panoramic views of the falls and the lush, surrounding landscapes. The Nile continues its journey through the park, forming a vast delta teeming with wildlife. A boat cruise to the base of the falls allows you to witness this natural marvel up close, with opportunities to see hippos, crocodiles, and various waterbirds along the way..

Diverse Wildlife and Safaris

The park’s varied landscapes—ranging from savannahs to riverine forests—are home to over 76 mammal species, including elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, and lions. Game drives across the Buligi Peninsula provide the best chance to see these iconic animals, especially during the early morning or late afternoon when wildlife is most active. The park is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, boasting over 450 bird species, including the rare shoebill stork and the striking grey-crowned crane. For a different perspective, a boat cruise along the Nile offers close encounters with hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of waterbirds.

Adventure and Activities

The park offers a range of activities beyond traditional safaris, catering to all kinds of adventurers. A boat cruise to the base of the falls is a must-do, allowing you to get up close to the thunderous cascade while spotting wildlife along the riverbanks. For those seeking a physical challenge, a hike to the top of the falls provides a rewarding experience, with stunning views of the Nile crashing through the narrow gorge. Sportfishing enthusiasts can try their luck catching the legendary Nile perch in the river’s waters. For a more relaxed adventure, guided nature walks offer a chance to explore the park’s diverse ecosystems on foot, discovering smaller wildlife, plants, and unique bird species.
