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!

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.

Murchinson Falls was amazing! We listened to the sounds of the hippos at night from our super safari camp. We saw Elephants, Giraffes, Hyenas, and a Lion! The park is stunning with beauty and the guides the best!

Most unique park I've visited in all of East Africa.

The oil camps popping up were sad to see, so I hope they don't expand in the park anymore. This park was stunning, with the rolling hills, and acacia trees and palm trees. We booked through EcoExpeditions Uganda and our guide really knew what was going on. We stayed at Fort Murchison just outside of the park, but it was close enough that we were able to get to the park early. The food there (4 course meals) was great, but the mosquitoes were bad. Overall, my favorite park in Uganda.

Murchison is a very popular park in Uganda. There are lots of great option for safaris with this park - I suggest doing the game drive, boat tour, and falls hike. You cannot go to Murchison and miss out on the falls - they are breathtaking.
