Take a boat trip to see the mighty Murchison Falls

Take in Murchison Falls at its thundering and most breathtaking on a boat trip to the mist-swirled base. Begin your trip further down the park, where you'll float along the Nile River, passing yawning hippos and crocodiles as they glower from below the water. Formed as the rushing Nile River squeezes through a 7m gap in the Albertine Rift Escarpment, Murchison Falls is a true spectacle and one of the world's most powerful waterfalls. The park's plentiful wildlife often gathers to drink at the base, so you can get started on your game viewing. The falls are at their most magnificent during the rainy season, especially late May and November, when the birdlife is most verdant as well.
