In Uganda, the White Nile Falls attract many visitors every year who come to admire an exceptional spectacle.

Going up the banks of the White Nile in Uganda, they appear thunderous. Murchison Falls are among the most powerful in the world with a flow rate of 300 cubic meters per second. The tourist boats leave a few kilometers further to go then near this place and admire the spectacle. The travelers cross the oldest national park of the country and can enjoy on the way a real aquatic safari with in particular hundreds of hippos but also crocodiles. Elephants also come to cool off there.

Some tourists go to the top of a cliff. “With the noise and the projected water splashing over you, you can really feel the power of the falls”, testifies a tourist. Around this jewel extend 3,800 square kilometers of savannah, without barriers or fences, which welcome emblematic animals of the continent. This Garden of Eden and its majestic river where one of the most wonderful shows in Africa is played out.
