Overview
Visit Murchison Falls National Park – the largest game reserve in Uganda – to see the spectacular waterfalls from which the park got its name and the abundant wildlife.
It consists of two sections - the northern and southern, which are divided by the Victoria Nile whose banks are host to plenty of wildlife, such as lions, buffaloes, crocodiles, elephants, hippos, and Shoebill.
The breathtaking Murchison falls, which plunges 45m over rocky cliffs, and the famous big five – lions, elephants, leopards, hippos, and rhinos are the biggest draw to this park. Rhinos do not exist inside the park, but you can see them en route to it at the Zziwa Rhino sanctuary.
Get the opportunity to track the white rhinos at Zziwa Rhino Sanctuary, the only place in Uganda where you can find the endangered white rhinos, which are part of the Famous Big Five.
Tour Highlights Rhino tracking, Boat cruise, Hike to the top of the falls, Game drive.
