3 Days Murchison Falls experience trip

Murchison Falls National Park, located in the northwestern region of Uganda, is the country’s largest and oldest conservation area, spanning over 3,840 square kilometers. Established in 1952, the park is named after its most iconic landmark, Murchison Falls, where the roaring waters of the Nile River squeeze through a narrow gorge, plunging 43 meters to continue its majestic flow downstream. This spectacular waterfall not only offers a breathtaking sight but also creates a powerful roar that can be heard from a distance.

The park’s diverse ecosystems, which include woodlands, wetlands, and savannahs, provide a habitat for a vast array of wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalos, and numerous bird species.
