Murchison Falls National Park lies at the northern end of the Albertine Rift Valley, where the sweeping Bunyoro escarpment tumbles into vast, palm-dotted savannah. First gazetted as a game reserve in 1926, it is Uganda’s largest and oldest conservation area, hosting 76 species of mammals and over 450 of birds.

Go on an exhilarating wildlife safari across the savannah plains home to over seventy species of mammals including lions, giraffes and elephants to the edge of the rift valley where the Victoria Nile, after bursting through a six meter gorge with a thunderous roar, cascades down the valley wall as the roaring Murchison Falls. It then cuts across the valley floor and flows serenely into Lake Albert. This stretch of river offers a remarkable wildlife spectacle with elephants, giraffes and buffaloes visiting the river for a dip and drink; while hippos, crocodiles and aquatic birds are permanent residents.
