The mighty Nile River divides the park into its north and south sections. At the spectacular Murchison Falls, the world’s longest river explodes violently through a narrow cleft in the Rift Valley escarpment to plunge into a frothing pool, 43 m below. As the river attracts large numbers of game, a boat safari up the Nile provides the perfect opportunity to see and photograph the animals here.

Most of the park’s wildlife is found north of the Nile which is why all game drives take place on the tracks in the northern section. A game drive in the park allows you to be eye-to-eye with the African animal kingdom featuring elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, different species of antelope and many bird species.

Budongo Forest is located in the south of Murchison Falls National Park. It is known for its impressive biodiversity with more than 20 mammal species, 350 bird species, 250 butterfly species and over 450 plant species.
