Where you will be
Murchison Falls · Northwestern Uganda
On the riverbank outside the park gate, a short drive from the ferry crossing.
The whole river squeezes through a cleft in the rock and falls into the gorge below. Upstream it widens again and the banks fill with hippo and elephant.
Getting there
Five hours from Kampala on tar and then twenty minutes of murram.
Approximate position 2.241, 31.714
