The cruise upriver from Paraa, on the South bank; to view Murchison Falls at the head of the Fajao Gorge, has been the park’s most popular attraction since the 1950s. Also known as the Delta Nile, a launch cruise boat ride to the bottom of Murchison falls was a very memorable adventure, indeed!

We got to see for ourselves, how the powerful waterfall, strongly squeezes through that narrow gorge, before pouring down into the “devils ‘cauldron;” forming a rainbow. Also, look out for crocodile, hippos, buffalos, giraffe, and waterbucks, which are spotted on the riverbanks. For birders, expect to see birds like African Darter, Goliath Heron, secretary bird, black-headed plover, osprey, white-faced whistling duck, veracious dove, rock pratincole, yellow-billed stork, pied kingfisher, long-tailed nightjar, long-toed plover, Malachite Kingfisher, Blue-napped Moosebird, Black-billed Barbet, Abyssinia ground hornbill, piapiac, yellow-fronted tinker bird and White-rumped seedeater among others.
