01 Overview

Murchison Falls is Uganda's largest national park and home to one of nature's most dramatic spectacles — the Nile River squeezed through a 7-metre gorge with a thundering roar audible kilometres away. The northern savannah supports Uganda's largest elephant population, resident lions, Rothschild giraffe, buffalo, and enormous hippo pods. The signature Nile boat cruise, drifting toward the base of the falls, is a scene of primal, cinematic beauty.

Highlights

  • Murchison Falls — the world's most powerful waterfall, top viewpoint and base boat access
  • Nile River sunset cruise from Paraa— hippos, crocodiles, kingfishers
  • Game drives on the northern circuit — elephants, lions, Rothschild giraffe
  • Bird watching
  • Sport fishing for Nile perch on the Albert Nile
