The 4 Days Murchison safari Uganda takes you to Uganda’s largest and most popular national park. Murchison falls national park is named after the mighty thunderous waterfall on the river Nile that forces its way through a narrow gorge and tumbles 43m before it journeys to the Mediterranean sea.
Various wildlife such as elephants, hippos, Nile crocodiles and over 451 recorded bird species flood the river banks. The park is also home to habituated chimpanzees in Budongo forest. About 800 of these great apes live in this virgin mahogany tree tropical forest.
