Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s largest and most spectacular wildlife reserve, spans 3,840 square kilometers of untamed savannah, riverine forests, and the mighty Nile. Located in northwestern Uganda, about 90 kilometers from Masindi, the park offers an unforgettable safari experience, blending dramatic landscapes with incredible wildlife encounters.
At its heart lies the iconic Murchison Falls, where the world’s longest river squeezes through a narrow 7-meter gorge before plunging 43 meters into a roaring cascade. The sheer power of the falls creates a breathtaking spectacle, making it one of Africa’s most stunning natural wonders.
The park is home to an abundance of wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, and hippos, while crocodiles bask along the Nile’s banks. The vast northern savannah hosts countless antelope species, while Rabongo Forest in the southeast shelters chimpanzees and other primates. Birdwatchers can spot a variety of species, including the elusive shoebill stork and numerous water birds.
Visitors can enjoy game drives, birdwatching, boat safaris, and guided hikes to the base of the falls. Accommodation ranges from luxury lodges to tented camps and campsites, ensuring comfort for all travelers. Explore Murchison Falls for a safari experience like no other.
