Uganda’s largest and oldest conservation area, Murchison Falls National Park is a raw, untamed wilderness where Africa’s longest river bursts through a narrow gorge, crashing down in a thunderous explosion of mist and power. It’s a place of breathtaking contrasts—thundering falls, wide open savannahs, dense forests, and slow-moving rivers alive with wildlife. For travelers craving drama, beauty, and adventure, Murchison delivers.
closer look at
Straddling the Nile in northwestern Uganda, Murchison Falls is home to over 76 mammal species and more than 450 bird species, making it one of the country’s premier safari destinations. You’ll spot elephants bathing along the riverbanks, giraffes browsing the treetops, and even the elusive shoebill stork in the lush delta. At its heart is the mighty Murchison Falls, where the Nile squeezes through a 7-meter cleft and plunges 43 meters with unstoppable force—a truly unforgettable sight.
Get inspired
This park is the perfect blend of safari and scenery. Game drives offer chances to see lions, leopards, buffalo, and antelope, while boat cruises bring you up close to hippos and crocodiles basking on the river’s edge. And then there’s the crown jewel: the dramatic hike to the top of the falls, where you’ll feel the full power of the Nile beneath your feet. It’s one of East Africa’s most iconic natural wonders.
Accommodation options range from stylish safari lodges overlooking the Nile to eco-friendly tented camps nestled in the wilderness. Whether you're after rustic charm or refined luxury, you'll find a stay that connects you deeply with the rhythms of the wild.
