The dry seasons, from December to February and June to August, are generally considered the best time to visit. Wildlife viewing is easier as animals congregate around water sources, and the roads are more accessible. However, the park is beautiful year-round, and the wet seasons offer lush scenery and fewer crowds.
Murchison Falls is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, lions, leopards, buffaloes, hippos, crocodiles, and various antelope species. The park is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, with over 450 species recorded.
The most common way to reach Murchison Falls is by road from Kampala, which takes approximately 4-5 hours. You can also fly to Pakuba Airfield within the park or take a combination of road and boat transfers.
