3 Day Murchison Falls Safari

Tour Overview

Murchison Falls National Park is built around the point where the Nile River forces through a narrow gorge before dropping into the falls themselves. The park combines savannah game drives with a boat cruise to the base of the falls, and is one of Uganda's most complete single-park safaris.
