Murchison Falls National Park

Great Safari with plenty wildlife

Not crowded, none commercial very private Safari experience. Plenty animals to see. Although this park lacks number of predators. Not many lions, no hyenas, no cheetahs. There were leopards, but did not see them.
However, many giraffes, elephants, buffaloes and other grazing game. Variety of birds were amazing. The scenery and change of vegetation was remarkable.

The park has variety of wild animals and it can easily be seen and it has the falls which make the scenic beauty when you are on the top of the falls

So much to do in this off the beaten path gem!

After six months of road tripping through Eastern and Southern Africa, Murchison Falls holds up as a favorite memory. The park is stunning and there is so much to do! The boat trip is an obvious yes, but also don't miss the hike to see the falls from the other side. The sound of the thundering falls is seriously impressive! We were self driving, but hired a guide from the park and definitely recommend doing so, we were really impressed by Charles' knowledge and he definitely contributed to our enjoyment. Murchison Falls National Park is well worth a visit and Uganda was one of our very favorite countries! You will find exceptionally friendly people, excellent attractions and affordable options.

The Falls are the most stunning waterfalls we've ever seen! Lots of game (especially giraffes), nice park.

2 days i Murchison Falls.

We went on a morning safari, first ferry across the Nile. Stunning to se the sunrise over the savanna. We were lucky to spot a spotted hyena, very rare to se they said. At the time being there there were a bushfire, so not so much wildlife. Although we saw animals, birds and mammals.

The boar ride to the base of the falls and seeing all the birdlife completed an excellent day to this park.

The Nile and the scenery were gorgeous. Our safari camp was also beautiful, and local youth sang and performed traditional dances around our fire at night. Hippos roamed around our cabin. Wow!

You'll be able to see an amazing variety of wildlife from the river, and the views from the top of the falls are beautiful. I camped near by and left during sunrise, one of the most beautiful sunrises i ever saw.

One full day packed with wild life and scenery that only Africa can offer

There is genuine feeling of visiting Africa of the past when experiencing Murchison Falls National Park. The wildlife is plentiful and the tourist are few. It is such a large geographical area that there is a sense of being in a remote part of the world. There is both simple & inexpensive as well as upscale accommodations available in the park. There was freedom to drive you own vehicle around or have a guide take you. The boat trip up the river to the falls is well worth the 3 or 4 hours. The encounters with the Hippos and river creatures was exciting. As a professional photographer / videographer there was plenty of opportunity to captures images that will forever stimulate the imagination.

Paradise on the Nile

Saw much game as we flew in low and slow to Pakuba airfield, where we were collected by pre-arranged transport from a lodge on the Nile. The trip to the lodge was rugged & slow, allowing more game viewing at close quarters. The terrain included open plains with sparse scrub, and densely wooded gulleys. Excellent weather enabled a boat trip from the lodge to Murchison Falls (approximately 20km). The guide was experienced and informative. There were uncountable hippos, Nile Crocs, buffalo and other game on the banks of the swift flowing river. Many species of birds make their homes in almost vertical sandy cliffs along the river. We were able to step on to a tiny island just downstream of the falls to get a breathtaking view of the the Nile forcing it's way through a narrow crevice (Murchison Falls).
The accommodation at the lodge was spotless and the service very friendly. We dined on Nile Perch and Tilapia,another local fish, & good wines were available. The spacious patios & lounges were impeccably appointed, depicting much of the local & interesting history, with many famous people having visited, including Queen Elizabeth & Earnest Hemmingway.
