| Murchison Falls National
Park also known as Murchison Falls Conservation Area is
the biggest protected area in Uganda, 5.025kms, including
Murchison Falls National Park, Bugungu Wildlife Reserve,
Karuma Wildlife Reserve and, in the South, Budongo Forest.
The altitude range from 619m at the delta on Lake Albert
and 1.292 m at Rabongo hill. The area is traversed by the
river Victoria Nile, which connects Lake Kyoga with Lake
Albert. Murchison Falls is named after the marvellous falls
on the river, which encounters a narrow cleft in the Rift
Valley Escarpment, then it is transformed into a froth of
thunderous white water, with no comparison to any other
site in East Africa. The vegetation is characterized by
savannah, riverine forest and woodland. Learn
