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.
