Murchison Falls National Park Safaris

Discover Uganda’s Wildlife

Heartbeat & Cascading Falls

Discover the majesty of Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda‘s largest protected sanctuary, renowned for its mesmerizing waterfalls and abundant wildlife.

Witness the Nile River’s mighty power as it cascades through a narrow gorge at the falls, creating a breathtaking spectacle. Explore diverse landscapes teeming with iconic African wildlife, including lions, buffalo, elephants, giraffes, and countless bird species. The park’s rich ecosystems along the Nile also support vast hippo populations and awe-inspiring crocodiles.

Experience thrilling game drives, scenic boat cruises, and a vibrant tapestry of Uganda’s natural wonders. Embrace an unforgettable adventure shaped by the force of the Nile and the abundant wildlife of the park.

Located in northwest Uganda, the park covers around 3,500 square kilometres and forms part of the Murchison Falls Conservation Area, along with the neighbouring Karuma Wildlife Reserve. This densely forested region is bisected by the mighty Nile River.

The park’s most spectacular sight is Murchison Falls, where the Nile is forced through a narrow 7-metre gap in the rock face, plummeting 43 metres. This creates a dramatic explosion of white water, the most powerful natural water flow in the world.

While the falls are the main attraction, the park  also offers excellent game viewing. It is home to four of the Big Five, excluding rhinos, which are slowly being reintroduced after being poached from the area. Other abundant species include buffalo, hippos, and crocodiles lounging on the riverbanks. The park also offers exceptional birdwatching, with the rare shoebill stork being a highlight.
