Murchison Falls National Park

 

Murchison Falls National Park is one of the most spectacular parks in Uganda, and indeed in the whole of Africa. This is the largest game park in the country (3,840 sq.km.) and has the most intense concentration of animals along the   river. Here is the awe-inspiring   Murchison Falls, where the River   Nile hurls itself through a narrow   crevice and then plunges 40   metres   in one breathtaking leap.   Before the Murchison Falls   themselves, in the eastern sector   of  the Park, are the Karuma Falls   where the Nile cascades over 23   kilometres of rapids in a breathtaking sight. This is some of the most exciting white water in Africa. The Murchison Falls National Park, with its variety of vegetation ranging from riparian forests and swamp lands to broad savannah, provides the opportunity of seeing many of the animals found in Uganda. In the southern section of the park is the beautiful Rabongo Forest, home to several families of chimpanzees and other primates.

Precautions

Malaria area - minimize mosquito bites by wearing light, long sleeved clothing and using effective insect repellents (containing Diethyltoluamide DEET) on exposed skin. Sleep under treated mosquito netting or ensure that the doors and windows of your accommodation are screened against mosquitoes. Having a fan or air-conditioner on at night will further suppress mosquito activity. Currently, the three effective anti-malaria tablets are Mefloquine (Lariam or Mefliam), Doxycycline and Malarone (Malanil). It is still possible to contract malaria while on malaria prophylaxis. Note that Lariam may present serious side-effects - please test before you depart.
