Overview
This safari will take you to Uganda’s largest park, Murchison Falls National Park, situated in the northwest on an area of 3,840 sq km and created in 1926 as a game reserve. With savannah grasslands and the Victoria Nile that flows through separating it into two (the northern and the southern bank), Murchison Falls is home to over 451 bird species including the great blue turaco, goliath heron, shoebill, and dwarf kingfisher, 76 mammal species, and the magnificent and thunderous Murchison Falls squeezing its way through a gorge that is 8m wide. Explore this fantastic park on game drives and a boat safari.
Itinerary
You will start your journey to Murchison falls national park, after an early breakfast, and this is quite a long distance. This Park is famously known for having the most powerful waterfall in the world, where the longest river in the world squeezes through a 7-meter gap and then drops down 45 meters and with a lot of wildlife like giraffes, hippos, elephants, and many others. On this day, there won’t be any activities since it’s a long drive.
