Murchison Falls National Park

This is the largest national park in Uganda, situated in Masindi district. It is crossed by the Victoria Nile, running approximately 115 kilometers from east to west. Here, you have the chance to encounter four of the "big five" animals: buffalos, elephants, lions, and leopards.

Murchison Falls National Park lies in the point of convergence of the Murchison Falls Conservation Area. This unique park ensures a touch of untamed African savannah isolated by the mighty stream River Nile. The impressive Murchison Falls, where the world's longest river dramatically bursts through a narrow cleft in the Rift Valley escarpment, plunging into a roaring pool 43 meters below, creates a captivating spectacle that leaves a profound impact on all five senses.

Murchison Falls is predominantly characterized by lush and rugged valleys. The open grasslands to the north of the Nile host the most diverse and abundant wildlife, with frequent sightings of elephants, buffalos, giraffes, and an impressive array of elands. The Nile itself harbors one of Africa's densest populations of hippos and crocodiles, along with a remarkable variety of water birds, including the rare shoebill stork, which is found here in one of the world's most accessible wild populations. For wildlife enthusiasts, observing unique gatherings of hippos and large numbers of crocodiles in and around the Nile is an exciting experience. Additionally, one can encounter captivating creatures such as the magnificent Rothschild giraffe, lions, leopards, and spotted hyenas during their visit to this extraordinary national park.
