Murchison Falls National Park (MFNP) is the largest and oldest conservation area in Uganda that lies at the northern end of the Albertine Rift Valley, in north-western Uganda. It is an exceptional place to see a variety of wildlife and enjoy a boat trip along the Nile.

Other species include bushbucks, Uganda kobs, waterbucks, warthogs, Rothschild’s giraffes, duikers, Bohor reedbucks, oribis, warthogs, Jackson’s hartebeests, and hyenas among others.
Murchison Falls National Park is the only national park in Uganda where all the ‘five big game’ can be spotted. That is, buffaloes, elephants, lions, and leopards – which are best seen in the northern section beyond the Victoria Nile.
Rhinos were sadly extinguished because of poaching, but are now being bred again and rehabilitated in Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary.
There are more than 450 bird species in Murchison Falls ranging from common to a variety of forest and water birds, making it a hot spot for birding safaris.
