4-Day Murchison Falls National Park Safari Overview

4-Day Murchison Falls National Park Safari is a carefully designed Tanzania safari experience for travelers who want wildlife, scenery, comfort and local guidance. The itinerary can be customized according to your travel dates, accommodation style, budget and special interests.

A safari to Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda's largest national park, combining game drives with a boat cruise to the base of the Nile's most powerful waterfall.

Murchison Falls is named for the point where the Nile River is forced through a gorge just 7 meters wide before plunging over a 43-meter drop. The park 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.
