Murchison Falls Wildlife Safari

The typical 3 days Murchison falls safari is only possible for those that are already in Kampala or planning for morning arrival so you can transfer direct to Murchison. Otherwise, you will need 1 extra day which makes it 4 days.

Murchison Falls National park is Uganda’s largest park, situated in Northwestern Uganda on an area of 3,840 sq km, gazetted in 1926 as a game reserve. It is classified with Savannah grasslands, and the Victoria Nile that flows through into two (the northern and southern bank).

Murchison Falls is home to over 451 bird species such as the Great blue Turaco, Goliath heron, the Shoebill, and the dwarf kingfisher among others, 76 mammal species, a big number of Nile crocodiles and above all the magnificent and thunderous Murchison Falls squeezing their way through a gorge that is 8m wide. All said, you will have an opportunity to enjoy both the game drives and the boat cruises along the Nile River.

This 3 Days Murchison Falls safari summarizes all the major activities to carry out in this magical Uganda safari park. If you want to experience Chimpanzee Tracking, you have to add on an extra day to make it 4 in total. Safari accommodation is based on Budget, Mid-Range and Luxury.
