Murchison Falls National Park
The world's most powerful waterfall squeezes the entire Nile through a seven-metre gap — and Uganda's biggest park roars around it.
The world's most powerful waterfall squeezes the entire Nile through a seven-metre gap — and Uganda's biggest park roars around it.
Feel the ground tremble as the entire River Nile explodes through a gap just seven metres wide, plunging 43 metres in a permanent thunder of spray and rainbows.
Cruise upriver past hippos, crocodiles and drinking elephants to the base of the falls, then hike to the top and stand — safely — beside the most powerful rush of water on Earth.
Plan This Experience
The savannah north of the river teems with elephant, Rothschild's giraffe, lion, leopard, buffalo and huge herds of Uganda kob — with the Nile itself as a backdrop.
Keep an eye on the papyrus: this is also prime territory for the prehistoric-looking shoebill stork, Africa's most wanted bird.
