About Murchison Falls National Park
Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda's largest and oldest conservation area, bisected by the Victoria Nile which plunges 43 meters through an 8-meter gap to create the world's most powerful waterfall. The park offers classic African safari experiences with elephants, giraffes, lions, leopards, and excellent boat safaris.
