Murchison Waterfalls Hiking Adventure

How did you hear about us?

This 4-hour hiking adventure offers a front-row seat to one of Africa’s most dramatic natural wonders, combined with a refreshing outdoor challenge.


The day begins with a scenic drive to the trailhead, followed by a guided hike that winds through riverine forest and rocky outcrops, all the way to the Bottom of the Falls. Along the way, expect sweeping views, photo stops, and moments of awe as the landscape unfolds before you.


As you hike, your guide will share the geological and historical stories of the falls—once admired by early explorers like Samuel and Florence Baker. The trail offers several vantage points where you can feel the ground tremble beneath your feet and witness the Nile exploding through the rock with sheer force.


Once you return to the top, the views are nothing short of spectacular. Water churns and mist rises in the sunlight, creating perfect conditions for rainbows and unforgettable photos. It’s the kind of place that makes you pause, breathe deeply, and truly appreciate the wild beauty of Uganda.
