3 Days Murchison Falls National Park Safari
- 3 Days
Adult
Description
Enjoy this 3 Days Murchison Falls National Park Safari on Uganda’s largest National Park which protects a chunk of untamed African Savannah bisected by the mighty river Nile. It is named after the Murchison Falls, where the world’s longest river explodes violently through a narrow cleft in the Rift Valley escarpment to plunge into a frothing pool 43m below. Wildlife populations have largely recovered from the poaching of the 1980s; in the lush Borassus grassland to the north of the Nile, elephant, buffalo, giraffe and a variety of antelope are regularly encountered on game drives, while lion are seen with increasing frequency. The Nile itself hosts one of Africa’s densest hippo and crocodile populations, and a dazzling variety of water birds including the world’s most accessible wild population of the rare shoebill stork.
