Murchison Falls National Park

Northwestern Uganda

Murchison Falls National Park

Uganda's largest national park, where the Victoria Nile thunders through a narrow gorge amid classic savanna wildlife.

Murchison Falls National Park

Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda’s largest and oldest conservation area, offering the country’s most complete classic safari. Savanna, riverine forest and woodland support elephants, Rothschild’s giraffes, buffaloes, lions and leopards across sweeping landscapes.

Game Drives & Boat Cruises

Early-morning game drives deliver the best wildlife viewing, while an afternoon boat cruise up the Victoria Nile brings you alongside hippos, crocodiles and abundant birdlife to the base of the falls.

A Birder’s Paradise

With over 450 recorded species, including the prized Shoebill Stork along the riverbanks, the park is a standout for birdwatchers of every level.
