Murchison Falls National Park

Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda’s largest and oldest conservation area, offering a dramatic blend of breathtaking landscapes, powerful waterfalls, and incredible wildlife. Located in northwestern Uganda, the park is named after the mighty Murchison Falls, where the River Nile explodes through a narrow 7-meter gorge and plunges 43 meters below—creating one of the most powerful water surges in the world. This spectacular natural wonder is the park’s centerpiece and a must-see highlight on any visit.

There’s plenty to see and do in Murchison Falls National Park. Go on thrilling game drives through the open savannah to spot elephants, giraffes, lions, leopards, buffaloes, and a wide variety of antelopes. Take a scenic boat cruise along the Nile to the base of the falls, where you’ll encounter hippos, crocodiles, and abundant birdlife including fish eagles and kingfishers. For the adventurous, a hike to the top of the falls offers stunning views and photo opportunities. Bird watchers can explore Budongo Forest and other habitats within the park, while cultural visits to nearby communities provide an enriching local touch. Whether you’re after wildlife, adventure, or natural beauty, Murchison Falls delivers an unforgettable safari experience.
