Murchison Falls National Park

Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda's largest national park with approximately 3,893 km2 (1,503 sq mi). The park is bisected by the Victoria Nile from east to west for a distance of about 115 km (71 mi).
The park is the location of the Murchison Falls, where the waters of the Nile flow through a narrow gorge only 7 m (23 ft) wide before plunging 43 m (141 ft). Since 2005, the protected area is considered a Lion Conservation Unit.  Murchison Falls National Park and the adjacent Bugondo Forest Reserve host 76 mammal species such as chimpanzees as well as Uganda's largest Nile crocodile population. There are 450 known bird species including the shoe-billed stork, dwarf kingfisher, Goliath heron, white-thighed hornbill and great blue turaco.
