An amazing experience
I and my wife spent three days in Murchison Falls. Although being in the dry season, the park was full of game mainly on the shores of Nile River. I guess that during the wet season the scenery might be greener. Our camp lodge was very comfortable, calm and with an incredible view of the sunset sinking into the Nile. The staff has worked efficiently. Our guide from Cheetah Wildness Safaris was always attentive. I strongly advise navigate the Nile. The falls are powerful.

I has such a lovely honeymoon Safari at the Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda.
I had an unforgettable experiences when I visited the Murchison falls National Park. The most outstanding of the experiences is when we stood at the top of the falls and watched the waterfall. It was a such a beautiful scene and was coupled with a rainbow. Other wonderful experiences included the game ride and boat cruise. In the game ride, our guide named all the animal and bird species encountered in our local dialect which I found amazing. During the boat ride I came within a meter or two of a crocodile basking in the sun which was a bit frightening but I enjoyed as I had never seen a live crocodile myself. Our accommodation at the Kabalega wilderness lodge was wonderful to say the least and the chef formidable enough to make me fall in love with Italian Pasta once again.

An Amazing Park!
Murchinson Falls was amazing! We listened to the sounds of the hippos at night from our super safari camp. We saw Elephants, Giraffes, Hyenas, and a Lion! The park is stunning with beauty and the guides the best!

Most unique park I've visited in all of East Africa.
The oil camps popping up were sad to see, so I hope they don't expand in the park anymore. This park was stunning, with the rolling hills, and acacia trees and palm trees. We booked through EcoExpeditions Uganda and our guide really knew what was going on. We stayed at Fort Murchison just outside of the park, but it was close enough that we were able to get to the park early. The food there (4 course meals) was great, but the mosquitoes were bad. Overall, my favorite park in Uganda.

Loved Murchison! And it's really close to Ziwa Rhino sanctuary so, if you have been lucky on your safari so far, you can tick off the last of your 'Big 5' with a visit there after.
We found charismatic and knowledgable UWA guides, beautiful vast plains and tons of mammals and birds. Even the dreaded tsetse flies could not put us off. We had an amazing leopard sighting here and our boat trip up the Nile and walk at the top of the falls added in variety. Magical place I would recommend to anyone.

We had been booked us directly for 3 days in the Paara Safari Lodge on the River Nile. A first class hotel safari that leaves no wish unfulfilled. A few feet away from the hippos, who laugh at night, sometimes funny and jump into the pool. The rooms are decorated in colonial style with fans and mosquito nets over each bed. you can close like curtains around the beds. Power is up by 23 clock in the evening. The food buffet is always fresh, and European. During a 6-hour safari, we have all seen animals including lions up close. The Murchison Falls are worth seeing. Overall, the National Park and the Paara Lodge is highly recommended.
