Overview Wildlife Activities

About the Reserve

Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda largest protected safari landscape in the uploaded proposals and is a major destination for game drives, Nile boat cruises, top of the falls visits, and wildlife viewing. The packages describe road transfers from Kampala and Entebbe, visits to the powerful falls where the Nile forces through a narrow gorge, morning and evening game drives, and boat trips along the Victoria Nile to the base of the falls. The destination is linked with lodges such as Pakuba Safari Lodge and Paraa Safari Lodge. It is especially useful for packages that combine savannah wildlife, river scenery, rhino tracking at Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch, and later travel toward Kibale National Park.
