Highlight

Murchison Falls β€” Nature's Power

At Murchison Falls, the entire Nile River β€” 300 cubic metres per second β€” is forced through a rock crevice just 7 metres wide. The explosive force creates a roar audible from kilometres away and a rainbow that hangs permanently in the mist.

Uganda's largest national park (3,893 kmΒ²) surrounds this phenomenon, offering game drives across vast savannahs, boat safaris to the base of the falls, and night game drives revealing nocturnal wildlife.
