What a wildlife experience!
To be honest, I've never been on a safari before but it was pretty much as I dreamed of it: we've seen everything, starting the day with a leopard, going on with lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes and lots of antilopes, it was very impressive.

Its on the tin, just wonderful, rolling hills, large herds, the Nile
Viewing the Kabalega Falls now named Murchison Falls is simply magical. Here is where the whole river Nile, "the world's longest river" is squeezed through a 5 meter wide cleavage and pounding down through an approximately 45 meters long falls forming an amazing rainbow in the hotter part of the day. This is Uganda's largest conservation area with a vast variety of vegetation cover from open savanna, equatorial rain forest, savanna woodland and

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.

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.

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
