Murchison Falls Safari

The classic big-game safari, where the Nile explodes through rock.

Duration 3-5 daysIdeal time Dec-Feb & Jun-SepDifficulty EasyTravel Private
The experience

Uganda's largest park, where the world's longest river forces itself through a seven-metre gap - and lions, elephants and giraffes range the savannah below.

Big-game Africa at an unhurried Ugandan pace: morning drives across golden plains, an afternoon boat to the foot of the thundering falls, and far fewer vehicles than you'd expect.

An easy, rewarding safari for families and first-timers.
