At the northern end of the Albertine Rift Valley in northwest Uganda lies the country's largest national park: Murchison Falls National Park. Named for the dizzying waterfall at its heart, the park spreads inland from the shores of Lake Albert. Most of Africa’s iconic safari animals can be seen here on guided game drives, river cruises, and nature walks; meanwhile, birders come from far and wide for the chance to spot the elusive shoebill stork.
The park covers just over 1,500 square miles, including savannah and riverine woodland in the northern section of the park, the swamp-like delta along the shores of Lake Albert, and the dense forests to the south. Along with neighboring Bugungu Wildlife Reserve and Karuma Wildlife Reserve, the park is part of the larger Murchison Falls Conservation Area. Read the full travel article here.
