Offered by - Jamie Jungle Safaris
Tour Features
Murchison falls national park lies at the northern end of Albertine rift valley where the sleeping Bunyoro escarpment tumbles into a large 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 451 birds. The park is bisected by the Victoria Nile, which plunges 45m over the remnant rift valley wall, creating the dramatic Murchison falls, the centerpiece of the park and the final event in 80km stretch of rapids. The stretch of the river provides one of Uganda's most remarkable wildlife spectacles. Regular visitors to the riverbanks include elephants, giraffes and buffaloes, while hippos, Nile crocodiles and aquatic birds are permanent residents. Accessibility to the park can be by road through the southern entrance gates approaches to Paraa out of Masindi town which is 4hours drive 305km from Kampala. Along the way is ziwa rhino sanctuary home to the wild rhinos in Uganda. You can track them on foot and support this important initiative to reintroduce rhinos to protected areas.
