Murchison Falls National Park

A variety of wildlife in a beautiful environment

Murchison Falls National Park is a large, beautiful park in Uganda. I visited the park for my first safari and I had a wonderful experience. I saw a variety of wildlife, experienced the stunning landscape and relaxed at night at a wonderful lodge. I hired a guide to take me into the park and guide me through it which worked nicely. My favorite part of the experience was seeing the elephants. We were even chases off at one point by an elephant. The park staff are lovely, the falls at amazing, and it seemed like a very good place to experience the wonders of Ugandan wildlife.

Murchison Falls National Park has a variety of wildlife, has varied scenery, excellent accommodation

The park has a variety of wildlife. The scenery was varied and of course features the falls. Accommodations were high quality. Good food. Excellent guides and rangers. Very safe environment for tourists. A mecca for photographers.

2 days i Murchison Falls.

We went on a morning safari, first ferry across the Nile. Stunning to se the sunrise over the savanna. We were lucky to spot a spotted hyena, very rare to se they said. At the time being there there were a bushfire, so not so much wildlife. Although we saw animals, birds and mammals.

It was well organised with spectacular scenery, especially approaching Murchison Falls.

The boat ride to the falls skirts the river edge where an abundance of birds, crocs, hippos, lizards, buffalo and warthogs inhabit the shore. As we approached the Falls the experienced boat captain moved the craft into different positions for better photos. We opted to leave the boat here and trekked the last few kilometres to the top of the falls. This is a must if you are reasonably fit because it provides the best views of Murchison Falls. At the top of the falls we were met by our fantastic driver who then drove us back to our camp. An exhilarating day with out a doubt and highly recommended.

The boar ride to the base of the falls and seeing all the birdlife completed an excellent day to this park.

The Nile and the scenery were gorgeous. Our safari camp was also beautiful, and local youth sang and performed traditional dances around our fire at night. Hippos roamed around our cabin. Wow!

Wonderful scenery and an incredible amount of healthy wildlife with trips on water and land

We saw four of the big Five there easily. Weather was fine and very hot. Stayed at Nile Safari Lodge. Rooms rather basic and little light in evening. View from room though was over the Nile for lovely sunsets. Food was plentiful but not very exciting. Our guide Wilson from Volcano Safaris accompanied us throughout Uganda and Rwanda and was one of the best we've had. Our vehicle had removable roof panels so we could stand up for photography. Highlights were seeing a leopard in a tree and another stalking an antelope, and a spotted hyena on the track in front of our vehicle. Scenery enhanced by the Nile flowing through the savanna

Nice place to stay, very close to the hippo's and the warthogs.
We saw buffalo's from a short distance.

The park where i saw the largest array of animals, many antilopes, zebras, lions, hippos crocs etc... and lots of birds along the Nile bank

Of all of the parks I've been to in Uganda, Murchison is the best. A huge variety of animals and options of activities. I went on the Red Chilli tour and had a great time.
