PLACES TO GO IN Murchison Falls National Park

The prime area for game-viewing is the peninsula between the Victoria and the Albert Niles, known as the Buligi Circuit. The concentration of animals is highest in this area, and the lush patches of forest along the waterways. The borassus palms, dotting the ridges and valleys in-between, add to the attraction of the park\'s landscape.

The Murchison Falls themselves are also a huge attraction for guests coming to Murchison Falls national park and should not be missed
