Murchison Falls National Park

Uganda’s largest national park, famous for the Nile forcing through a narrow gorge to form Murchison Falls.

Overview

Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda’s largest and oldest conservation area, known for dramatic landscapes, powerful waterfalls, Nile boat cruises, and classic savannah game drives. The Victoria Nile squeezes through a narrow gorge before dropping into the Devil’s Cauldron, while the riverbanks attract hippos, crocodiles, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, and many birds.
