The Gushing Waters Of The Murchison Falls
There are several fascinating things to see top of the Murchison Falls in Uganda, arguably the biggest draw of many visitors to this remarkable National Game Park on a Uganda safari. On top, you will be able to see the staggering speed of the waters, pushing towards a gap in the rocks that is just close to seven metres wide. The water flows ragingly fast. It is breath-taking.
Thousands of visitors on their African Adventure have taken photographs at the Top of the Falls and captured incredible shots. But the truth is, you cannot possibly capture the essence of Murchison Falls with just a camera. You have to visit, smell the river, feel its thundering force underneath your feet, let the splash touch your body and make that Ugandan safari trip a memorable one. And be sure to spot more wildlife on a boat cruise safari in Murchison Falls, where you will get an opportunity to see hippos, elephants, buffalo and some gigantic Nile Crocodiles as you watch the sun go down with the roar of the Falls as your backtrack.
This waterfall lies between Lake Kyoga and Lake Albert on the White Nile River in Uganda and is also a perfect place for Sport Fishing and Birding Safaris in Uganda and get to explore the area by car for a game drive on the same safar. It is on this very route that offers you a chance to see the Big Five (Rhino, African Elephant, Lion, African Leopard, and Buffalo), including a stop at Ziwa Sanctuary the only place to find the rhinos in the wild of Uganda on route to Murchison Falls National Park. It is also important to note that this tour to Murchison falls is also convenient for tourist on short safaris tours in Uganda, limited time should not stop you from discovering Africa.
Tourist on long tours have chance to spot the big five from other parks like Kidepo Valley National Park and Queen Elizabeth National where also the other four of the big five can be encountered but still have to make a stop at Ziwa Sanctuary for the rhinos to complete the cycle before or after their safari tours to those particular games parks, but this might not be convenient for tourist on short trips because of the distance separating these two parks and the Rhino Sanctuary. And another experience tourists on long safari trips to Uganda wouldn’t wish to miss out , is embarking on a gorilla trekking safari in the forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
And if you’re now planning on making that trip to Murchison Falls, be sure that there are also superb accommodation Lodges in place, so that shouldn’t be your worry, from budget to mid-range and luxury all available for your memorable safari trip.
