Murchison Falls National Park

Giraffes 2 MFNP

Murchison Falls Conservation Area (MFCA) comprises Murchison Falls National Park, Bugungu and Karuma Falls Wildlife Reserves.

This is where the Nile explodes through a narrow gorge and cascades down to become a placid river whose banks are thronged with hippos and crocodiles, waterbucks and buffaloes. The vegetation is characterised by savannah, riverine forest and woodland. Wildlife includes lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, hartebeests, oribis, Uganda kobs, chimpanzees, and many bird species.

The Murchison Falls, also referred to as the KabaLega Falls, is a waterfall found on the course of the great Nile. It actually breaks the stunning Victoria Nile, that flows across Uganda’s northern region from the vast Lake Victoria to the deep Lake Kyoga and continuing to the northern tip of the stunning Lake Albert within the western arm of the great East African Rift.

Right on the peak of the Murchison Falls, the waters of the Nile force their way through a small slit within the rocks, which is just 7 metres or 23 feet wide, and topples to 43 metres or 141 feet below with a thunderous roar forming a residual water spray that forms a beautiful rainbow; the view is breathtaking!
