Murchison Falls National Park

Situated in northwestern Uganda, Murchison Falls National Park is the country’s largest and oldest conservation area. It is named after the dramatic Murchison Falls, where the Nile River squeezes through a narrow gorge, creating a breathtaking waterfall.

The park’s diverse habitats, ranging from riverine woodlands to savannahs, are home to iconic wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, lions, and hippos. It also features one of the highest concentrations of crocodiles in Africa.
