Murchison falls National park is Uganda’s largest and most visited national park in with its famously known strong and astonishing waterfalls, Murchison Falls. The spectacular land scape is a home to over 76 mammal species not forgetting the famous big five (lion, Elephant, Buffalos, Leopard and the Rhinos currently at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary). This makes it ideal for a self drive safari. The park harbors over 451 bird species and indigenous people that offer another point of interest to tourists or anthropologists with their different cultural activities and ways of life.
The park offers different activities like the game drives, the launch trips, that deliver amazing views of the wildlife in the savannah grasslands which include. the Rothschild giraffe, warthog’s, antelopes, hyena and many more.

In Uganda, you can do a self drive safari to any of the different national parks. Eg, Murchison falls national park , queen Elizabeth national park, Bwindi impenetrable forest, kibale and many more.

Or any of the national parks in Uganda as it may not be reliable since you may not know the location, the distance and the nature of the roads and the cars you might rent may not be in good condition making the experience quite terrible.
