Fishing At Murchison Falls Giraffe at Murchison Falls Murchison Falls

Murchison Falls National Park

Explore the falls by launch to their base and observe the cascading Victoria Nile as it descends through a 6 metre crevasse and drops 43 m.

Game can be viewed from the launch such as Lion, Elephant, Crocodile and the rare Shoebill stork; the birding checklist numbers some 450 species for this Park. Game viewing by vehicle around the Buligi circuit for Giraffe, Leopard, Lion and Buffalo. Also visit the top of the falls by car to experience this spectacular scene.

Fishing below the falls can be arranged and a license will cost US$75 for a four day trip or US$50 per day trip (i.e. up to a week for one continuous visit). Rubongo Forest in the Park features Chimpanzees, although often very difficult to find.

The Kaniyo-Pabidi Eco-tourism site inside the Park, has a better-laid out path system and Chimps habituated to human presence and are therefore easier to sight.
