Murchison Falls National Park – Uganda’s Largest Safari Park

In north-western Uganda, the mighty Nile River forces its way through a narrow gorge, exploding into the world’s most powerful waterfall: Murchison Falls. Surrounding this spectacle is Uganda’s largest national park, covering 3,480 km² of wilderness.

Here you can see the “Big Five”: buffalo, elephant, lion, and leopard roam freely north of the Nile, while rhinos are being reintroduced at nearby Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. The park also boasts hippos, giraffes, crocodiles, countless antelopes, and abundant birdlife along the Nile Delta.

A boat cruise to the base of the falls, combined with classic game drives, makes Murchison Falls an essential highlight of any Ugandan safari.
