When to visit

The best time to visit Murchison Falls National Park is during the dry season from December to February and June to September when wildlife congregates around water sources, making it easier to spot them. However, the wet season from March to May and October to November offers lush green landscapes and fewer crowds.

Getting around

To get around Murchison Falls National Park, visitors can hire a safari vehicle with a driver-guide or join a guided tour. The park has well-maintained roads for game drives and boat safaris along the Nile. Walking safaris are also available for a more immersive experience in the wilderness.

Traveller tips

Remember to bring insect repellent and sunscreen as the park can be hot and humid. Wear comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes for game drives and walking safaris. Respect the wildlife and follow the park rules to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Carry a pair of binoculars for bird watching, as Murchison Falls National Park is a birding paradise. Don't forget to bring a camera to capture the stunning landscapes and wildlife sightings. Stay hydrated and carry snacks for long excursions in the park.
