About Murchison Falls National Park
Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda’s largest and oldest national park, located in the northwestern part of the country and bisected by the mighty Nile River. The park is best known for the dramatic Murchison Falls, where the Nile forces its way through a narrow 7-meter gorge before plunging 43 meters below, creating one of the most powerful waterfalls in the world. The park boasts diverse landscapes ranging from vast savannah plains and riverine forests to wetlands and woodlands, supporting a rich variety of wildlife. Visitors can encounter elephants, lions, giraffes, buffaloes, leopards, and numerous antelope species during game drives, particularly in the northern sector. It is also home to over 450 bird species, including the rare shoebill stork, making it a prime destination for birdwatching. A highlight of any visit to Murchison Falls National Park is a boat safari along the Nile River to the base of Murchison Falls, offering close-up views of hippos, crocodiles, and wildlife gathering along the riverbanks. With its breathtaking scenery and abundant wildlife, the park offers a truly unforgettable safari experience.
