]]>Murchison Falls
If you only have enough time to visit a single waterfall while in Uganda, Murchison should make the cut.

]]>Located in the very heart of the Murchison Falls National Park, this cascading waterfall is the place where the wild waters of Victoria Nile drop roughly 40 meters, before pouring into the Devil’s Cauldron pool and flowing westward into Lake Albert.
There are many different ways to explore the beauty of Murchison Falls, but most tourists do it by joining a boat safari tour on the Victoria Nile River. Many safari companies operate tours in the region and offer a wide range of different activities, ranging from fall walks to hot air balloon rides and white water rafting adventures.
Part of the reason why these tours are necessary is the wildlife in the area. The Murchison Falls National Park has over 70 mammal species, including Uganda’s largest population of Nile crocodiles. It’s also an amazing spot for bird-watching because it’s home to many rare species that can hardly be found in other corners of the world.

]]>The beautiful African country is located on the banks of the Nile River and offers plenty of attractions for the whole family.
Arriving in Uganda, it is recommended to take a boat trip on the Mabamba Wetlands. The area surrounded by swamps is rich in wild animals, including the rare Shoe Bill Stock. You can stay the night in the city of Entebbe and avoid the traffic jams on the way to the capital Kampala.
From there, you should continue your trip to Jinja. This town overlooking Lake Victoria is considered the source of the White Nile. It is a nice town with low houses and quiet streets.
This is where the Nile Special beer is produced—which is very popular with tourists. The main attraction of the place is the Nile of course, where you will find excellent rafting (with number five rank waterfalls). This is also the country’s extreme sports center, so in addition to rafting, you can go on ATV tours, horseback riding, biking, bungee riding, and

]]>Although Uganda is one of the poorest African countries, traveling to this country is considered a high exclusivity, primarily because of its uniqueness.
It is extremely rich in natural wonders and the flora and the fauna are simply surreal, but above all, Uganda is the home of the famous and seriously endangered mountain gorillas that inhabit the Bvinda rainforest.
Since the government of this country doesn’t want to entice mass tourism and thus endanger their UNESCO-protected natural parks and numerous wild animals, the price of this trip can be high and therefore the number of tourists is limited.
But, if you feel responsible enough, and you can afford it, traveling to Uganda is an experience you definitely shouldn’t miss!

It sources from the Lake Nyanza (Victoria) at Ripon Falls near Jinja, where this exciting rafting takes place. If the flow on the river is controlled, you can book your raft any day of the year, except Christmas Day and New Years Day.

You should carry a small backpack with dry clothes to change into at the end of the raft, which will be kept on the vehicle that will meet you at the finish point. Even if you don’t fell into the water, you will certainly get wet from the splashes. However, due to the Ecuador weather climate, the water is always warm.

If you are scared of crocodiles, don’t worry they don’t like populated areas. However, don’t be surprised if you see a flock of bats flying over your head in the middle of the day!
