	Murchison Falls National Park

	Murchison Falls National Park is the most spectacular in Uganda and probably the whole of Africa. With its 3840 Sq. km it is the largest in the country and has the most intense concentration of animals along the river. Here are the awe-inspiring Murchison Falls, where the River Nile hurls itself through a narrow crevice before plunging 40 meters in one leap. Higher upstream from the falls are the Karuma Falls in the eastern sector of the Park. Here the Nile cascades over 23 kilometers of rapids and is an awe inspiring sight. This gives some of the most exciting white water in Africa. A definite must is a trip upstream to the falls . Elephant, hartebeest, giraffe, buffalo, crocodiles and countless antelope can be seen as your boat passes along. The park, with its variety of vegetation ranging from riparian forests and swamp lands to the broad Savannah, gives an opportunity to see many of the animals found in Uganda.
	In the southern section of the park is the beautiful Rabongo Forest which is home to many families of chimpanzees and other primates. They are not always easy to see in the canopy of the forest. From Kampala the park can be reached via Masindi a distance of 260 kms taking about 3 hours. From there to the falls is a further two hours to complete the hundred km drive. The park can also be reached by a six seater charter aircraft to Paraa and Rabongo. Wildlife in abundance is in the park. Elephant, Giraffe, Hippopotamus, Leopard, Warthog, Lion, Aradvark, Chimpanzee, Pangolin, Civet, Buffalo, Hyena, Crocodile, Oribi, Patas monkey, Uganda kob, baboon, The following fish can be found in the Nile; Nile Perch, Tilapia and Tiger Fish Over 450 species of birds including the Pels Fishing Owl, pennant winged nightjar, red throated bee eater and the magnificent shoebill stork can be found just to mention a few.
