Murchison Falls National Park

Beautiful area where you can make a boat-trip to see the impressive Murchison Falls.

The immense power of the Nile going over Murchinson falls is breathtaking. There is plenty of wild game with Lake Albert and Congolese mountains in the distance.

Murchinson Falls is amazing

It's hard to beat African wildlife, zero fences, the source of the Nile, and a torrential rainstorm.

While it was depressing to hear how four decades of war had decimated the local fauna, it was exhilarating to see wildlife rebounding at this preserve. We went without a guide and had a great time. We never spotted a lion, but we caught sight of just about everything else, from water buffalo to giraffes. A beautiful place.

Lots of wildlife, Elephants, crocodiles, hippos, and lots of birds

Great wildlife and sceneries, good accomodation and food, a strong bush vibe.

I was expecting more from this park

Everyone I've met calls this their favorite park, but I was disappointed by my experience. We arrived at the gates at the scheduled opening time, but the staff showed up over an hour late. By the time we made it to the river tour it was too late in the day for many of the animals to be active. The staff was also rude to our driver when our family asked him to accompany us for lunch at the lodge. However, the views of the falls were spectacular and the animals are big.

The falls and the river make this park different, but it's also very touristy.

Easy introduction to safari experience, you´ll see plenty of animals, although big cats are not for granted. It is the most popular safari place in Uganda, hence more crowded, but still nothing compared to some parks in neighboring countries.
