Murchison Falls National Park
Murchison Falls National Park, the largest protected area in Uganda, covers an impressive 3,893 square kilometers in the northwestern part of the country. The park is named after the dramatic Murchison Falls, where the Nile River surges through a narrow gorge and plunges 43 meters, creating a thunderous roar and a stunning spray of water. This spectacular waterfall is one of the most powerful natural forces in the world and serves as the park’s centerpiece.
The park’s diverse ecosystems range from dense rainforests and savannahs to wetlands and riverine woodlands, supporting an incredible variety of wildlife. Visitors can spot the Big Five—lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and rhinos—along with giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, and countless antelope species. Murchison Falls National Park is also a bird watcher’s paradise, with over 450 bird species, including the rare shoebill stork.
Boat cruises on the Nile offer a unique perspective of the park’s wildlife and lead to the base of Murchison Falls, providing breathtaking views and photo opportunities. Game drives through the savannahs reveal the rich tapestry of life, from towering elephants to playful baboons. For the adventurous, hiking to the top of the falls offers an exhilarating experience and panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
Murchison Falls National Park is not just a sanctuary for wildlife but a testament to nature’s raw power and beauty. It promises unforgettable adventures, whether you’re navigating the river, trekking through the wilderness, or simply marveling at the majesty of the falls. This park encapsulates the essence of Uganda’s natural wonders and stands as a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and thrill-seekers alike.

Our Travelers Testimonials
The Best in East Africa
We were a group of about 25 people. This was a bucket list trip for us (husband and myself) and Travel Wild did not disappoint. Fabulous from the minute we landed. Everything was perfect. Excellent communication, timing, helpfulness. Beautiful accommodations, friendly helpful people. We stayed busy, but were also offered down time. Travel Wild was patient with my many many email questions and provided prompt replies. It would be a dream to book with them again.
Totally Recommend Travel Wild!
We had travelled with a group of 40 with Travel Wild. Dan was our guide for the 5 day trip which was starting from the Nairobi Airport-Naivasha-Masai Mara Safari and back to Airport. The stay were perfect and Travel Wild was on standby for any/all requirements that we have. We would 100% recommend them and especially travel with Dan as there is never a dull moment while travelling with him.
A Massive Thank-You From A Return Customer!
Having used Travel Wild a few years ago, I was longing to come back to East Africa to explore the region a bit further. One cannot imagine a trip to Kenya or Tanzania without going on safari, however I was wary of taking young children (5 & 7 years old) on such a tour. Travel Wild carefully planned our itinerary taking into account our wishes and specifics of the group which did take some time, therefore thanks a lot for your patience!
Incredible Trip To Kilimanjaro & Mt. Kenya!
My friends and I joined Travel Wild Tours on an 8 day trip to Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and a 5 day trip to Mt Kenya National Park in Kenya. Although the company is based in Kenya, they subcontracted another professional company called Enjoy Kili to lead us on the Kilimanjaro trek in Tanzania. It was a well put together trip with great service. I definitely recommend this company and their Mt Kenya trip!
Amazing, Memorable Tailor-Made Safari Holiday!
Travel Wild (based in Nairobi, Kenya) organised a fully bespoke holiday from us (we are based in London, England) incorporating 5 different destinations across Kenya and full action packed itineraries at each destination, including transport between the locations, guides, domestic flights, and sound advice throughout. We felt thoroughly catered for and in safe hands. The team is always on email and on the phone and we had no qualms. Would recommend using Travel Wild directly from abroad. A holiday of a life time that we won't forget. Thank you to the team.
Everything We Hoped For & More
We booked our Kenyan vacation through Travel Wild which included a 4 day safari at the Karen Blixen Camp and a 3 night stay at Diani beach. Travel Wild guided us on the itinerary, timing and arranged all transportation, ect, ect. We had never been to Africa before and the guidance, advice, and attention to detail allowed our trip to be stress free and unforgettable. They clealy do more than safaris!!!! If there was a 10 star rating they would get it!
