Murchison Falls National Park
Established in 1952, Murchison falls national park is the largest park in Uganda as it is sits on 3840km2 of land. It derives its name from Murchison falls where Nile squeezes through an 8m wide gorge and plunges with a thunderous roar into the “Devil’s Cauldron”, creating a trademark rainbow. The park contains savanna and borassus palms, acacia trees and riverine woodland in northern section whereas the south is dominated by woodland and forest patches. First gazetted as a game reserve in 1926, Murchison Falls is Uganda’s largest and oldest conservation area, lying at the northern end of the Albertine Rift Valley, where the sweeping Bunyoro escarpment tumbles into vast, palm-dotted savanna hosting 76 species of mammals as well as over species.
