About Murchison Falls National Park
Why Visit Murchison Falls?
Murchison Falls combines classic savanna game drives north of the river with a boat cruise along the Nile to the base of the falls, and an optional hike to the top for a dramatic view down into the gorge. The river stretch below the falls is one of the best places in Uganda to spot the rare shoebill stork.
Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary sits along the route between Kampala and Murchison Falls, making it an easy addition to a broader Uganda safari.
