Murchison Falls National Park.

Murchison Falls National Park is the largest protected place in Uganda. It is located in the Masindi District in the northwest. The park is named for the Murchison Falls, one of its most impressive features, which cover more than 3,800 km². The Nile River thunders down 42 meters after passing through a tight valley to create the Murchison Falls. Because of past insecurity in the country and unrestricted poaching, the park is not as it used to be. However, more recent efforts to preserve the park have improved its condition. The waterfall may be the most popular thing to see in the park, but there is also an abundance of wildlife. Over 1000 Rothschild Giraffes, which are now endangered, live in the park Uganda tours. In East Africa, this is the largest population of these animals. Visitors on a Uganda Wildlife safari can expect a unique cruise up and down the river Nile to see elephants, lions, giraffes, Nile crocodiles, hippos, buffaloes, antelopes, and birds feeding along the river banks. The Budongo forest in the park is recognized for chimpanzee trekking safari as you can see in our 4 days Murchison falls safari package. White water boating at Karuma Falls, a series of rapids immediately preceding the Murchison Falls, is another popular activity in the park.
