Tour Overview

Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda’s largest and most diverse national park, famous for the dramatic Murchison Falls—where the Nile forces itself through a narrow 7-meter gorge before plunging down with incredible power.

The Park offers classic savannah wildlife viewing (elephants, giraffes, lions, buffaloes) and one of Africa’s most scenic boat safaris.

This itinerary also includes a stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary—the only place in Uganda to see rhinos in the wild, making it a perfect “Big Five” experience for children.
