Sipi Falls

The Mighty River Nile

The Nile is a major north-flowing river in Uganda, and is commonly regarded as the longest river in the world. The river starts its 6,500km journey to the Mediterranean Sea (Egypt) beside Jinja town (Uganda).

Kidepo Experience

Kidepo Valley National Park Covers 1,442km2, and the park’s altitude ranges between 914m and 2,750m above sea level.

The park contains two rivers – Kidepo and Narus – which disappear in the dry season, leaving just pools for the wildlife.

The local communities around the park include pastoral Karamojong people, similar to the Maasai of Kenya, and the IK, a hunter-gatherer tribe whose survival is threatened. The IK are believed to be the indigenous occupants of this region of Uganda before the coming of other tribes.

Murchison Experience

Murchison Falls National Park lies at the northern end of the Albertine Rift Valley, where the sweeping Bunyoro escarpment tumbles into vast, palm-dotted savanna. First gazetted as a game reserve in 1926, it is Uganda’s largest and oldest conservation area, hosting 76 species of mammals and 451 birds. The park is bisected by the Victoria Nile, which plunges 45m over the remnant rift valley wall, creating the dramatic Murchison Falls, the centerpiece of the park and the final event in an 80km stretch of rapids. The mighty cascade drains the last of the river’s energy, transforming it into a broad, placid stream that flows quietly across the rift valley floor into Lake Albert.

Size: 3,840km2. Murchison Falls became one of Uganda’s first national parks in 1952. At Murchison Falls, the Nile squeezes through an 8m wide gorge and plunges with a thunderous roar into the “Devil’s Cauldron”, creating a trademark rainbow whenever there is sun shine. The northern section of the park contains savanna and borassus palms, acacia trees and riverine woodland.
