Murchison Falls nature walks provide enjoyable safari moments with a whole new experience as you skirt the wilderness to see a huge variety of animals and bird species. These include olive baboons, black and white colobus monkeys, red-tailed monkeys, grey-cheeked mangabeys, squirrels, hornbills, black weavers and large forest cobra.
The landscape of Murchison Falls National Park is gentle, with beautiful papyrus sheltering much of the walk. Watching the local community working in nearby farms is just as fascinating as the wildlife.
A highlight for visitor is chatting with some small children returning happy and smiling from collecting firewood and potatoes, carrying much of it balanced on their heads. Such encounters make Murchison Falls nature walks a top safari destination in Uganda.
Murchison Falls nature walks are led by informative guides, who will also take you to a little craft shop at the centre, as a nice way of supporting the local community. This is well worth adding to a safari game drive.
