Murchison Falls National Park

The “Jewel in Uganda’s Crown” has been a destination for the discerning traveler since the days of David Livingstone and John Speke (British explorers). The park offers everything you would expect of a top class African holiday and much, much more. Here you will be able to experience enthralling game drives to see lion, elephant, giraffe and antelope, take enchanting jungle walks for chimps and baboons among the 10 species of primates.
See the amazing bird life (over 250 Species including the rare Shoebill Stork) and constantly glimpse the wonderful and prolific butterflies. But, more importantly enjoy the Victoria Nile herself, as, on her journey from her source at Lake Victoria to join with Lake Albert, she provides a unique and spectacular showcase of the enormous diversity of Uganda’s wildlife. Here, pods of hippo languish on sand banks, crocodiles rest in riverside vantage points, water buffalo stand watching at the edge of the water what else? Baboons groups on shores or elephants struggling for a drink.
Murchison Falls National Park can be accessed by road from Kampala through Mubende – the drive time ranges from 4.5 - 5 hours. Visit Photo gallery
