Le parc national de Murchison Falls est le plus grand d'Ouganda, avec une superficie de 3 840 km², et abrite la cascade la plus puissante du monde, où le Nil se jette à travers une faille de 7 mètres. Les excursions en bateau jusqu'à la base de la cascade sont l'une des expériences les plus enrichissantes pour observer la faune en Afrique de l'Est. Les rives nord sont habitées par de grandes populations d'éléphants, de girafes, de buffles et d'hippopotames, et offrent d'excellentes possibilités d'observation des lions et des léopards.
