Murchison Falls & Shoebill Safari
Witness the world's most powerful waterfall and track the prehistoric-looking Shoebill stork
Tour Overview
Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda's largest and most dramatic park, where the entire Nile River is forced through a 7-metre gap to plunge 43 metres into the "Devil's Cauldron" below. The resulting explosion of water and mist is the most powerful waterfall on Earth by volume. Beyond the Falls, the park harbours excellent Big Four game viewing (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard) and is one of the world's best locations to find the elusive Shoebill stork, one of Africa's most sought-after birds. Cruise the Nile to the base of the Falls for an unforgettable experience.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
