ABOUT MURCHISON FALLS

Covering 3,840 km², this is Uganda’s largest national park, defined by open savannah and the east–west sweep of the Nile. It remains the only park where all members of the Big Five are represented, four within its boundaries and rhinos in an adjacent sanctuary, with long-term plans for reintroduction into the wild.

How to get there

Access the park by road from Kampala via Masindi in approximately five hours. Alternatively, charter flights land at Pakuba, Chobe, or Bugungu airstrips. The park spans both sides of the Nile, with Paraa ferry connecting north and south sectors for vehicle and ranger-led movement.
