Murchison Falls launch trip

Murchison Falls launch trip
One of the top highlights in Murchison Falls National Park is the boat launch to the base of Murchison Falls, offering a front-row seat to one of Africa’s most dramatic natural spectacles. This scenic cruise takes you along the mighty Nile River, leading to the point where the river thunders through a narrow gorge just 20 feet (6 meters) wide, plunging with incredible force.
As you journey toward the falls, you’ll pass through a rich mosaic of riverine forest, open woodland, and savanna, teeming with wildlife. Expect to see Nile crocodiles basking on the banks, pods of hippos wallowing in the water, and an impressive array of water birds, including kingfishers, herons, fish eagles, and more.
This relaxing yet awe-inspiring experience not only brings you face-to-face with the raw power of the falls, but also showcases the incredible biodiversity of the park’s river ecosystem. It’s an essential part of any visit to Murchison Falls—perfect for photographers, birders, and nature lovers alike.
