Chimpanzee trekking in Budongo Forest
Although not part of Murchison Falls, the nearby Budongo Forest Reserve is easily accessible for guests staying in the national park. There are currently around 700 individual chimpanzees and groups of three habits, and the reserve has an especially accessible group.
This is the Kaniyo-Pabidi community whose members are accustomed to the Jane Goodall Institute. Although Kibale Forest has long been a place for chimpanzees, Budongo offers a fairly quiet experience in terms of visitor numbers and the terrain is more challenging than Kibale.
Bird Watching
Uganda considered a bird watching mecca, attracting tourists from all over the world to see rare species such as the stork and the green-breasted pita. Although there are over a thousand species of birds throughout Uganda, Murchison herself has over 450 winged friends!
The incredibly diverse landscape of the park provides a habitat for a wide variety of species. Bird watchers can catalog a wide range of birds in just a few days, from the herons, ducks, terns, and cormorants that thrive in the waters of the Nile and its surrounding deltas, to ospreys and cranes on the open plains.
Nature Walking and Hikes
Murchison Falls National Park is a huge and diverse desert that can explore some places -bird watchers and adventure spirits, this is an incredible experience!
Cruise for the river can travel from the top of the waterfall to the top of the waterfall, and Rabongo and Kaniyo Pabidi forests Trail -Midfielder has the opportunity to see several wonderful birds and breastfeed.
Animals, animals, animals, including long animals. Guided marsh walks along the Nile and Lake Albert deltas offer budding birders the chance to spot the odd-looking shoe stork, but it’s worth remembering that this is only possible when the water level is low.
Nile River Cruise
Visitors to this national park can explore the Nile in a variety of ways, from sunset cruises to boat trips upstream to see Murchison Falls national park itself. For example, scheduled boat trips depart from Paraa Safari Lodge at 9.00 am and 3.00 pm daily. Paraa is located above the waterfall, allowing visitors to enjoy wonderful views down the river. However, for the best boating experience, it’s worth booking a private expedition at Baker’s Lodge on the south bank of the Nile.
Sunset cruises are a great start to Murchison, especially for visitors arriving by road. What better way to enter the wilderness than with a refreshing drink in the world’s longest river zoo? A boat trip to the falls reveals the sheer power of the Nile as it roars through a gap of only 7 meters, the narrowest point in the mighty river
