Located in the Northwestern corner of the country, Murchison Falls National Park offers a variety of eco-systems in a small area: riverine forest, open grasslands and marshland. The banks of the Victoria Nile River (which bisects the park) are home to a large number of animal species but game concentrations are thin due to years of poaching from which the region is slowly recovering. Highlights of a visit to the park are the spectacular falls themselves and launch trips on the river.
