Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda’s largest National Park; it covers an area of 3840km located in the districts of Masindi and Gulu. Animals here are in plentiful supply, Sir Samuel Baker named Murchison Falls in honor of a president of the Royal Geographical society and the park was subsequently named after the falls. The Victoria Nile River flows through the park on its way to Lake Albert. During the 1960s, Murchison (3893sqkm; 5081sq km with the adjoining Bugungu and Karuma wildlife reserves) was one of Africa’s most famous parks; as many as 12 launches filled with eager tourists to the falls each day. The park also had some of the concentrations of wildlife in Africa, including as many as 15000 Elephants.

Launch Trips to the fall   Three-hour launch trip from Paraa (park Headquarters) up to the base of the falls is the highlight of the park for most Visitors. There are abundant Hippos, Crocodiles and Buffalos; thousands of birds, including many Fish Eagles; and usually Elephants along this 17km stretch of the Nile. In the rainy season even Shoebills might make an appearance. The animals are there all day long, but the best of the falls comes in the afternoon trip. The halfway mark takes you 500m from the base of the falls, which provides splendid views, but to get a true sense of its power and might you’ll have to head to the top of the falls walk.
