The place

About Murchison Falls

The Nile squeezes through a 7-metre gap to create Murchison Falls 300 cubic metres per second of water pushed through a space barely wider than a doorway. Boat safaris from the bottom of the falls and big game on the banks make this Uganda's most complete safari destination.
