Highlights of the Murchison Falls NP

The area has some great bird life too including the rare shoe bill stork.  You can even go chimp trekking in the Budongo Forest as an added activity if you fancy a primate encounter.

It’s here at the Murchison Falls that the River Nile – the longest river in the world, is squeezed into an 8 m gap!

• Diverse landscapes from dense rain forest to undulating savannah
• prime game-viewing around the Buligi Circuit area between the Victoria and the Albert Niles,
• chimpanzees and other primates live in the forests
• buffalo, elephants and Rothschild-Giraffes roam near the river.

When is the best time to go?

Uganda is on the equator with a year round warm climate. Insignificant temperature differences.

• January to March and June to September – drier months good for game viewing.
• April/May and October to December  – wet seasons when road access and hiking can prove challenging.
