The World’s Most Powerful Waterfall

Murchison is one of the largest parks in Uganda split into two parts by the famous River Nile.
As you enter the park, a view of Budongo forest, the rugged terrain of the western Rift Valley and; the top of Murchison Falls where water cascades through a narrow gorge 45M deep forming continuous uproar with visible rainbow through the day, all make your dreams come true.
The Northern part of the park comprises of open savannah and dotted woodland that harbours a variety of animals and bird life. This is an area for game viewing and photography
A three-hour launch cruise down the bottom of the falls following the River Nile is special and enjoyable as visitors see hippos, crocodiles, elephant waterbucks and many water birds.

Bird watchers who love to hear and see different birds singing, swimming, eating, playing, nesting and relaxing have to take a special boat towards the associated swamps along the Albert Delta and to Pakwach Bridge following the Nile.
Paraa Safari Lodge, Nile Safari Lodge and Sambiya River Lodge offer descent, classic accommodation. Budget travellers are accommodated at Red Chilli Hideaway.
