Explore Uganda’s Oldest & Largest Park on a 4 Day Murchison Falls Safari

Murchison Falls National Park, located in northwestern Uganda, is the centerpiece of our 4 Day Murchison Falls Safari. It is the country’s largest and most popular park, covering over 3,800 square kilometers of diverse landscapes, rich wildlife, and the iconic Nile River.

This unforgettable safari takes you through Uganda’s oldest conservation area, known for the dramatic Murchison Falls—where the River Nile crashes through a narrow 7-meter gorge before plunging 43 meters below. The park forms part of the larger Murchison Falls Conservation Area, which also includes Bugungu and Karuma Wildlife Reserves.

🌊 The Nile & Murchison Falls

The River Nile, flowing through the heart of the park, creates a stunning natural ecosystem for aquatic and land species. One of the highlights of this 4 Day Murchison Falls Safari is the boat cruise to the base of the falls, offering incredible photo opportunities of hippos, crocodiles, and elephants along the riverbanks.

Visitors can also enjoy a hike to the top of the falls, where panoramic views reveal the immense power of the Nile as it forces its way through the gorge.
