Walking & Hiking

Murchison Top of the Falls Hike

Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda

About this experience

At Murchison Falls, the entire Nile forces itself through a rock cleft only a few metres wide before plunging into the gorge below. A short guided hike from the river to the top of the falls takes you right to the edge of this thunderous sight.

The walk is often combined with the Nile boat cruise, with the boat dropping you at the trailhead.
