3 Day Murchison Fall National Park Safari
Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda’s oldest and largest conservation area, covering vast expanses of savanna, woodland, and riverine forests. Originally gazetted as a game reserve in 1926, the park was officially designated as one of Uganda’s first national parks in 1952. It lies at the northern end of the Albertine Rift Valley, where the Bunyoro escarpment descends into rolling, palm-dotted plains, offering one of the most dramatic landscapes in East Africa.
3 Days Murchison Falls Wildlife Safari tour Package is one of the most sought after tour packages by visitors to Uganda. Murchison Falls National Park is one of the best places to visit during Uganda Wildlife safari. This 3day Uganda safari will give you enough time to see all that the great Murchison Falls national park has to offer – including a safari to spot four of the big 5 (You will see the fifth at the Ziwa Rhino sanctuary along the way to the park). The Murchison Falls National Park started as a reserve in 1926 and now covers an area over 3800 square kilometers. The park is named after the Murchison falls that flows through the park separating it into two – The southern and northern banks.
The Murchison Falls drops through a 45m wall after passing/squeezing through an 8m wide gorge. The result is a thunderous roar and a great rainbow like view caused by the mist. In the 1970’s, Uganda’s famous dictator Idi Amin Dada decided to change the park’s name to Kabarega falls national park, but the name Murchison falls was retained as soon as he was removed from power. The park is arguably the best in Uganda for its location and concentration of most of Africa’s famous mammals. You will be able to spot about 76 species of mammals which include buffalo, Nile crocodiles, lions, elephants, leopards, baboons, hyenas, warthogs and several antelope species. You will also see over 400 bird species and several reptiles like rock pythons and monitor lizards.
