2-Day Murchison Falls NP Short Safari

Activity Description

Murchison Falls National Park is located at the northern end of the Albertine Rift Valley, where the Bunyoro escarpment meets the plains of Acholi land. Established as a game reserve in 1926 to protect its rich savanna wildlife, it is one of Uganda’s oldest conservation areas. The Park is split by the Victoria Nile, which spectacularly drops 40 meters over the rift valley wall at Murchison Falls.
