Murchison Falls is one of the World's great natural wonders. The Nile River narrows to about 1000 feet and then explodes through a rocky cleft about 20 feet wide. There is also no shortage of wildlife. A visitor will likely be able to see Hippos (very plentiful) and some of the largest crocodiles in the World

Hi guys


Uganda's largest national park protects a chunk of untamed African savannah bisected by the mighty river Nile.
It is named for the dramatic Murchison Falls, where the world's longest river explodes violently through a narrow cleft in the Rift Valley escarpment to plunge into a frothing pool 43m below. Wildlife populations have largely recovered from the poaching of the 1980s; in the lush borassus grassland to the north of the Nile, elephant, buffalo, giraffe and a variety of antelope are regularly encountered on game drives, while lion are seen with increasing frequency.

Thanks

In the southeast, Rabongo Forest is home to chimps and other rainforest creatures.
