The Murchison Falls National Park started Lion in Murchison Falls National Parkas a reserve in 1926 and now covers an area over 3800 square kilometers. The park is named after the Murchison falls that flows through the park separating it into two – The southern and northern banks.
The Murchison Falls drops through a 45m wall after passing/squeezing through an 8m wide gorge. The result is a thunderous roar and a great rainbow like view caused by the mist. In the 1970’s, Uganda’s famous dictator Idi Amin Dada decided to change the park’s name to Kabarega falls national park, but the name Murchison falls was retained as soon as he was removed from power. The park is arguably the best in Uganda for its location and concentration of most of Africa’s famous mammals.
