Murchison Falls National Park is a large, beautiful park in Uganda. I visited the park for my first safari and I had a wonderful experience. I saw a variety of wildlife, experienced the stunning landscape and relaxed at night at a wonderful lodge. I hired a guide to take me into the park and guide me through it which worked nicely. My favorite part of the experience was seeing the elephants. We were even chases off at one point by an elephant. The park staff are lovely, the falls at amazing, and it seemed like a very good place to experience the wonders of Ugandan wildlife.

It was well organised with spectacular scenery, especially approaching Murchison Falls.

The boat ride to the falls skirts the river edge where an abundance of birds, crocs, hippos, lizards, buffalo and warthogs inhabit the shore. As we approached the Falls the experienced boat captain moved the craft into different positions for better photos. We opted to leave the boat here and trekked the last few kilometres to the top of the falls. This is a must if you are reasonably fit because it provides the best views of Murchison Falls. At the top of the falls we were met by our fantastic driver who then drove us back to our camp. An exhilarating day with out a doubt and highly recommended.

We saw four of the big Five there easily. Weather was fine and very hot. Stayed at Nile Safari Lodge. Rooms rather basic and little light in evening. View from room though was over the Nile for lovely sunsets. Food was plentiful but not very exciting. Our guide Wilson from Volcano Safaris accompanied us throughout Uganda and Rwanda and was one of the best we've had. Our vehicle had removable roof panels so we could stand up for photography. Highlights were seeing a leopard in a tree and another stalking an antelope, and a spotted hyena on the track in front of our vehicle. Scenery enhanced by the Nile flowing through the savanna

Of all of the parks I've been to in Uganda, Murchison is the best. A huge variety of animals and options of activities. I went on the Red Chilli tour and had a great time.

I and my wife spent three days in Murchison Falls. Although being in the dry season, the park was full of game mainly on the shores of Nile River. I guess that during the wet season the scenery might be greener. Our camp lodge was very comfortable, calm and with an incredible view of the sunset sinking into the Nile. The staff has worked efficiently. Our guide from Cheetah Wildness Safaris was always attentive. I strongly advise navigate the Nile. The falls are powerful.

I had an unforgettable experiences when I visited the Murchison falls National Park. The most outstanding of the experiences is when we stood at the top of the falls and watched the waterfall. It was a such a beautiful scene and was coupled with a rainbow. Other wonderful experiences included the game ride and boat cruise. In the game ride, our guide named all the animal and bird species encountered in our local dialect which I found amazing. During the boat ride I came within a meter or two of a crocodile basking in the sun which was a bit frightening but I enjoyed as I had never seen a live crocodile myself. Our accommodation at the Kabalega wilderness lodge was wonderful to say the least and the chef formidable enough to make me fall in love with Italian Pasta once again.
