Top of Murchison Falls; The World’s Most Powerful Falls, Uganda hiking and Wildife Safari
Once described as the most spectacular thing to happen to the Nile River along its 6700km length, the 50m-wide river is squeezed through a 6m gap in the rock and crushes through this narrow gorge with unbelievable power.
The 45m waterfall was featured in the Kathrine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart film The African Queen. Murchison Falls was even stronger back then, but in 1962 massive floods cut a second channel creating the smaller Uhuru Falls 200m to the north.
There’s a beautiful walking trail from the top down to the river, and the upper stretch of this path offers view to the Uhuru falls, which a boat trip will not bring you close enough to appreciate.
If you take a launch trip, the captain will let you off at the trailhead and a ranger will meet you there. This is also a good way for campers to get the camp site at the top of the falls. Hiking to the top of Murchison falls takes about 45 minutes.
