Murchison Falls National Park offers superb big game wildlife safaris in Uganda. At about 3,840 square kilometers, it is Uganda’s largest conservation area covered by; Borassus palms, Acacia trees, Savanna and Riverine woodland on the northern bank with the southern sector dominated by woodland and forest patches. On this wildlife Murchison Falls Uganda safari, you will go game viewing, on game drives and launch trips as well visiting top of the falls and tracking Rhinos in Ziwa sanctuary.

The park is a prime wildlife safari destination for small and big game viewing, with variety of wildlife especially mammals viewed on safari drives through the northern game circuits and on launch cruises along the majestic Nile. The Murchison falls where the Nile River squeezes into a 7metre gorge and finally falling off 40meters below the Devil’s Cauldron, give the park its name. Hikes or visits to the top of the falls are the highlight of safaris to Uganda’s Murchison falls national park and offer superb scenery photography safaris.
