ABOUT THIS TERRITORY
Murchison Falls National Park, formerly known as Kabalega National Park, is Uganda's largest and oldest national park, lying at the northern end of the Albertine Rift Valley in northwest Uganda. The park is named after Murchison Falls — the world's most powerful waterfall — formed where the River Nile squeezes through an 8-metre gorge and plunges with a thunderous roar into the Devil's Cauldron. Home to 76 mammal species and 451 bird species, the park hosts giraffes, lions, leopards, buffaloes, elephants, hippos, and the endangered Rothschild's giraffe. A boat cruise from Paraa to the base of the falls is one of Uganda's premier safari experiences.
