Explore Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s oldest and most scenic national parks. Gazetted in 1952, the park has attracted tourists from all walks of life including explorers, royalties, nobles, politicians and statesmen, celebrities etc. Enjoy game viewing in this park and explore the Murchison Falls, formed when the Nile squeezes through an 8m wide gorge and plunges with a thunderous roar into the “Devil’s Cauldron”, creating a trademark rainbow.
Enjoy game drives in the northern section of the park characterized by savanna and borassus palms, acacia trees and riverine woodland that attracts incredible wildlife including huge herds of buffaloes and elephants, well-camouflaged leopards, lions, giraffes, Jackson’s hartebeest, bushbucks, Uganda kob, waterbucks, warthogs, crocodiles and hippos etc.
