This is where the Nile explodes through a narrow gorge and cascades down to become a placid river whose banks are thronged with hippos and crocodiles, waterbucks and buffalo. The vegetation is characterised by savannah, riverine forests and woodlands. Wildlife includes lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, hartebeests, oribis, Uganda kobs, chimpanzees, and many bird species.

The Murchison Falls, also referred to as the Kabarega Falls, is a waterfall found on the course of the great Nile. It actually breaks the stunning Victoria Nile, that flows across Uganda’s northern region from the vast Lake Victoria, to the deep Lake Kyoga and continuing to the northern tip of Lake Albert, within the western arm of the great East African Rift. Right on the peak of the Murchison Falls, the waters of the Nile force their way through a small slit within the rocks, which is just 23 feet wide, and topples 141 feet below, with a thunderous roar forming a residual water stray that forms a beautiful rainbow. The view is breathtaking! From here it then continues westward, into the stunning Lake Albert.
