6 Days Murchison Falls and wildlife safari
6 DaysOur 6 Murchison Falls National Park safari package takes you to Uganda’s largest wildlife conservation area for amazing activities including visiting the Budongo forest. The national park was established in 1952 under a government act during the colonial administration of the time. Because of its size (3,893 sq. km), the park covers 4 districts. The park is about 280 kilometers away from Kampala city. The key attraction of the national park is the amazing Murchison Falls. It was the British Explorer Sir Samuel Baker who gave the waterfalls the name Murchison. The Murchison Falls is a result of the forceful waters of the Nile squeezing through a narrow gorge before dropping 141 feet down a cliff.
Apart from the waterfalls, the park is one of the best places to go for a safari in Africa. It has 76 recorded mammals and countless species of birds. The Murchison Falls has more Roskilde giraffes anywhere in
East Africa. It also has one of the highest populations of Nile crocodiles in Africa. The Murchison Falls wildlife conservation zone is now a lion conservation unit. Visitors on a safari to the Murchison Falls national park also have an opportunity to visit one of Uganda’s largest forests, Budongo.

Budongo forest is known for having the largest collection of mahogany trees in East Africa. These provide perfect shelter to birds and chimpanzees. Chimpanzee trekking in Budongo is the most popular activity in the forest but birders will be impressed with over 360 species on offer.
