Post Murchison Falls National Park
Murchison Falls is one of the World's great natural wonders. The Nile River narrows to about 1000 feet and then explodes through a rocky cleft about 20 feet wide. There is also no shortage of wildlife. A visitor will likely be able to see Hippos (very plentiful) and some of the largest crocodiles in the World

Hi guys


Uganda's largest national park protects a chunk of untamed African savannah bisected by the mighty river Nile.
It is named for the dramatic Murchison Falls, where the world's longest river explodes violently through a narrow cleft in the Rift Valley escarpment to plunge into a frothing pool 43m below. Wildlife populations have largely recovered from the poaching of the 1980s; in the lush borassus grassland to the north of the Nile, elephant, buffalo, giraffe and a variety of antelope are regularly encountered on game drives, while lion are seen with increasing frequency.

Thanks

Hi

In the southeast, Rabongo Forest is home to chimps and other rainforest creatures.

Thanks
