One of Uganda’s oldest conservation areas, Murchison Falls National Park sits in the northwestern region of Uganda near the peaceful shores of Lake Albert. The park is bisected by the Victoria Nile, which winds its way through the park and gives life and prosperity to the diversity of wildlife making its home in this rugged environment. Murchison Falls National Park derives its name from its own Murchison Falls waterfall where the mighty River Nile explodes through a narrow gorge to become a placid river whose banks are thronged with hippos, crocodiles, waterbucks and buffaloes, all of which are best experienced during a Murchison Falls safari.
