Murchison Falls

Ugandan national park where the Nile squeezes through a six-metre gorge before dropping at Murchison Falls

Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda's largest and most spectacular national park. The falls are breathtaking. The entire Nile River plummets through a crevice only 6 meters wide. River cruises are given daily, and you're sure to see lots of hippos, crocodiles, eagles, baboons, giraffes and if you're lucky, an elephant or two. Beautiful area. The Masindi road, however, is incredibly rough. Be prepared for a four hour very bumpy ride.
