Place

Murchison Falls National Park

Nature

Murchison Falls, Albertine Rift, Uganda

Uganda's largest national park, where the Victoria Nile cuts through a narrow gorge before crossing savanna, woodland, and riverine forest.

Why go

Why visit this place?

The park joins one of Uganda's defining river landscapes to northern savanna wildlife and the Albertine Rift.

When you arrive

What to expect

A large, varied park in which distances between the southern approach, falls, river, and northern wildlife areas take time.

Local knowledge

Local tip

Read the Nile and the Bunyoro escarpment as the organizing geography, not just the waterfall viewpoint.

Visiting

Getting there

The circuit approaches from Kampala through Masindi; UWA describes the southern entrance as a four-to-five-hour drive from Kampala before additional park travel.

Best time: Rain and current park-road conditions affect access; confirm gates and crossings with UWA.
