Murchison Falls: 4-Hour Game Drive with Optional Boat Cruise

1. Murchison Falls: 4-Hour Game Drive with Optional Boat Cruise

Murchison Falls National Park sits on the shore of Lake Albert, in northwest Uganda. It’s known for the famous Murchison Falls, where the Victoria Nile River surges through a narrow gap over a massive drop. Park wildlife includes elephants and hippos, and chimpanzees in the Kaniyo Pabidi mahogany forest. The Lake Albert Delta is home to rare shoebill storks, with game fish in the cascades of Karuma Falls. Murchison Falls is home to over 451 bird species and 76 mammals including buffaloes, Jackson hartebeests, antelopes, lions, kobs, giraffes, hyenas, bushbucks, and warthogs, among others. They are widely spread all over the Savannah grasslands, grazing or hunting for prey. This makes the park’s landscape so amazing for game viewing and game driving. After being picked up and entering the park your guide will try and track down the animals you wish to see most.
