    Really cool experience standing on top of the falls. You can really feel the gushing power of the water thundering down the mountain into the lake. Also be prepared to walk away like you've just take a shower 🚿. Well worth it though.

    The most beautiful powerful water falls in the world. Rainbow kissing the falls and the magnificent roar a top the falls is spectacular. Lovely shower from the drops and sprinkles of water from the 7 meter George that splashes and wash your face so refreshing. Make sure your camera is water proof so you don’t loose it to water while enjoying the shower.

    Murchison Falls is located within Murchison Falls National Park. When paying the entrance fee, we thought visiting the falls were included but apparently you have to pay separately. Regardless, I thought it was worth going at least once since it's known as the most powerful waterfall in the world. Its a 40-60min drive from the entrance depending on how fast you drive. On the way there, you will probably see wild animals so that might add to the driving time. Also, heads up, when at the falls, you do get a little wet. I personally didn't like the sticky feeling so I suggest you take wet wipes or go to the bathroom there to wipe yourself.

    Very nice, you see so many animals you can't see in other parks!!! The only sad thing is that there are so many people like you even sometimes have a traffic jam In the park!!! Bit the good thing is that the guides are always on the phone and can tell each other which animals they see!!! So that way you see more animals!!! I will not give 4 Stars because there is so much traffic in the park because that is not their fault it is just that they have so much publicity but I will give 4 Stars because they are building roads in the park and I don't think the animals like that so much!!! Anyways my impression was quite good and the park is highly recommendable!!!

    Absolutely beautiful and amazing site - Definitely get the ride to the top of the falls after going on the river boat tour. It's literally raining upside down. it's so powerful! Amazing to see the force of nature that God crested thst is the most powerful fall's in the world. We got to see a rainbow on top of the falls coming out and circling around us along with a double rainbow that was so beautiful.

    One of those places that really gets you thinking Uganda must have been the Garden of Eden! Very beautiful manifestation of the power of nature and might of the creator. Scenic bottom and top views of Murchison and Uhuru falls. Refreshing misty vapour from the thunderous flow of water through the rocks.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful Murchison Falls. They are truly impressive waterfalls: the whole Nile flows in a narrow passage only 3-4 meters wide, throwing itself into the Albertina rift valley below. You are enveloped by a deafening noise with splashes of water that rise to the sky. (Original) Bellissime Murchison Falls. Sono cascate veramente impressionanti: tutto il Nilo scorre in una stretto passaggio di soli 3-4 metri di larghezza, gettandosi nella sottostante rift valley albertina. Si viene avvolti da un rumore assordante con schizzi d’acqua che salgono al cielo.

    Amazing view. Please make sure your hydrated and that you wear proper clothing for the hike. It's a nice climb with a challenge.

    Waterfalls are beautifoul and big, if you just want see the falls from the top the price is 10$ per person, but if you want to walk until under the falls you have to pay 15$ extra. We took the first opcion and we thought that it was enough. If you want a advise take your waterproof jacket.

    Murchison Falls National Park never disappoints. Richly blessed with buffaloes, antelopes, giraffes and a good share of lions and leopards as well hippos. But the icing on the cake is the mighty River Nile that cuts through it and the thunderous and spectacular Murchison Falls, after which the park is named. A must visit!!

    Spectacular natural feature in unspoiled surroundings

  • 5/5 Mark M. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved visiting these falls. You are able to walk close enough to get wet and see the power of the water. And it is free! There is an additional $10-$15 hike, but I heard that I had already seen the best so I skipped the extra. I would go again and take visitors if given the opportunity.

  • 5/5 Adoyo Evans O. 2 years ago on Google
    This is probably one of the most powerful falls in the world. Very beautiful scenery and breathtaking observations. Everyone should see this place, that's if they can.

  • 5/5 Francis Ssenoga G. 1 year ago on Google
    Sign up for a safari to one of the infinite wilderness of Uganda, Murchison Fall National Park, and see dense tropical rainforests, open grasslands, and East Africa’s most dramatic waterfall. Enjoy excellent boat cruises and spot warthogs, hyenas, hippos, lions, crocodiles, leopards, antelope, giraffes, Bushbucks, and birds

    Awesome experience of one of the mighty Falls around Africa. Definitely recommend nature lovers to visit this place and enjoy the beauty of this place.

  • 5/5 Silas M. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful national park. We found that several of the tracks were closed or completely abandoned which was a shame. But the wildlife viewing was still decent. Taking a boat tour was a highlight of the trip. Highly recommend going. If your goal is to see lots of different African animals, I would recommend linking up several ugandan parks or going to Kenya or Tanzania.

  • 5/5 Hellena A. 1 year ago on Google
    The view of the falls is breathtaking. Cant describe it. Would recommend you see it yourself.

  • 5/5 BRIAN B. 1 year ago on Google
    Th en world’s mighty waterfall is sighted at this point. It’s awesome waterfall as you get to see the longest river (river Nile) going through a gorge at a terrific speed. It’s such a beauty to watch as you hear the sound of water hit the rocks. If it’s a good day with the sun shining, at all points of view, you see the rainbow. These are a must visit while in Uganda coz with such anyone will conclude that this is the Pearl of Africa.

  • 5/5 Samson c. 1 year ago on Google
    It's indeed a waterfall with strong waters but the best thing is the cruise distance coupled with a view of 🐘 and 🐊 as well as waterbucks and alot of beautiful vegatation

  • 5/5 Munezero A. 1 year ago on Google
    Murchison Falls National Park is best known, though, for the most powerful waterfall in the world. Every second, the equivalent of 200 bathtubs full of water is forced through a gorge less than seven paces wide. The pressure is so great that the ground trembles around it.

  • 5/5 Vikram L. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a very beautiful place. I took a boat ride on the Nile to see the fall from below and then drove up to experience the other view. The boat ride was very long and tiring in the heat. We spotted a few elephants and crocs during the 3hr boat journey. But that wasn’t a very great experience. The other experience when I went to the top of the fall, was totally exhilarating. The immense pressure of water created a mist which went upwards to the top of the hill and right up to where I stood. It was like an upward rain of sorts. Next morning, I took the jungle safari where I spotted antelopes, lioness, lion cubs, giraffes, water buffaloes. It was another great experience. The entire safari area has great roads and is fairly well organised. However, one must always carry the ticket as it is checked at almost all points within the safari. There is an additional charge to visit the top of the fall. This has to be paid to the security point Enroute.

  • 5/5 Sedric D. 10 months ago on Google
    The places is highly recommended for any traveller be vacations or honey moon. The place has quite large wildlife to view like the big five (lion's, leopard, buffalo and more wildlife. The place has quite number of boat cruises on the famous Nile Delta.

  • 5/5 GN K. 8 months ago on Google
    One of the best nature experiences on earth. Rich wildlife experience and the strongest waterfall on earth. You can be sure to get a water splash "shower" at the top of the falls. Murchison Falls National Park offers both the wild animals and the falls in one package. We saw all the big 4 and the Rhinos at Ziwa Rhino sanctuary. My colleagues from Austria said that was quite an experience they have never had in their whole life. Buffalos, Giraffes, Hippos, Crocodiles, Elephants, Lions, Leopard, kobs, gazelles, antelopes, monkeys, baboons etc all in one place. One elephant even tried charging our vehicle.

  • 4/5 Mugisha D. 3 years ago on Google
    Epic at the top of the falls during the rainy season. Don’t miss the views. Boat ride was disappointing as the water levels were high and not much animals to see as a result. Also you don’t get close to the falls.

    Descending to capture a view of the falls, don't forget a walking stick if you choose to go through the woods.

    Great Great walk at the top of the falls and down upclose to it where you get showered by the water splashing in the air. The road is perfectly done also which makes it easier to reach. George was a great guide

  • 5/5 Joseph Kibui K. 4 years ago on Google
    The White Nile, from its Lake Victoria source at Jinja, flows into the shallow Lake Kyoga and into Murchison Falls National Park, cutting the Park into north and south. From Murchison, the river flows into Lake Albert and turns northerly out of Uganda into Southern Sudan. The Nile is synonymous with the stunning Murchison Falls Park - biggest of all Uganda parks; in the Park, the river pours its millions of litres through a breathtaking 7 meters gap in the rocks, at Murchison Falls, @ 300 cubic meters per second - dropping 43 metres into the gorge below. A Nile Boat cruise is offered to the bottom of the falls, with en-route sights of hippos, buffaloes, crocodiles and various bird species; on arrival, one gets to enjoy a rewarding nature walk to the top of the falls. The park is made up of woodland, wetland, savannah and tropical forest; it is a habitant for over 76 mammal species, including elephant, Rothschild’s giraffe, warthog, Cape buffalo, Uganda kob and hartebeest; in the river, you get hippos and the largest concentration of Nile crocodiles in the world. A birder’s paradise, the Park has over 450 bird species unique to each of the habitats; its’ Nile corridor has a big collection of water birds, including the rare pre-historic looking shoebill stork. Activities including game drives, boat rides and spot fishing; the sizes of the Nile perch in this region are epic.

  • 5/5 BRIAN B. 4 years ago on Google
    The largest national park in Uganda where you can have an opportunity to see mammals, reptiles and primates at once. Very accessible as it’s near the city Kampala and accommodation is very affordable as there is a variety of it. Get the best of Uganda’s beauty in just one park and also view the biggest falls along river Nile in it.
