MURCHISON FALLS NATIONAL PARK – UGANDA’S BIG FIVE & NILE SAFARI CAPITAL

Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda’s largest and most powerful safari destination, famous for the dramatic Murchison Falls, Nile boat cruises, Big Five wildlife, and sweeping savannah landscapes. It is one of East Africa’s top parks for photography, game viewing, and birdwatching.

Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s largest and oldest protected area, is renowned for its powerful Murchison Falls, where the Nile River rushes through a narrow 7-meter gorge before plunging into the Devil’s Cauldron; this breathtaking waterfall is the centrepiece of the park, surrounded by vast savannah plains home to elephants, lions, buffalos, giraffes, leopards, hippos, crocodiles and more than 450 bird species, including the rare shoebill stork. Murchison Falls offers exceptional wildlife viewing, dramatic landscapes and unforgettable Nile Delta boat cruises, making it one of East Africa’s top safari destinations for photographers and nature lovers. Many travellers combine Murchison Falls with our 7 Days Uganda Big Five Safari, which includes the Nile boat cruise, game drives in the northern sector and rhino tracking at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, while those seeking a primate and wildlife combination often pair the park with the 4 Days Uganda Gorilla Trekking Tour, creating the ultimate Ugandan safari from gorillas to the Big Five. Top attractions include the Top of the Falls viewpoint, Nile Delta boat rides, Budongo Forest chimpanzees, the Paraa ferry crossing and sunrise game drives offering some of Uganda’s best predator sightings, along with a selection of riverside lodges, mid-range tented camps and luxury safari accommodations.
