Uganda 2008 - Murchison Falls National park

This national park in the northwest of Uganda is home to one of
the world's most powerful waterfalls as well as a large wild animal reserve.
Here a wide river flow is forced through a six-meter-wide narrow gorge with ferocious force.
Visitors can take a boat ride up the Victoria branch of the Nile River (6700 km from Lake Victoria to Egypt) toward the Falls--
but only within 500 meters since the current coming out of the Falls is too powerful for boats to navigate safely.
Along the way are crocodiles, colorful birds, elephants and hippos.
This gallery displays images from the boat trip to the Falls.
The larger animal reserve--the largest park in Uganda--surrounds the Falls is presented in another gallery.
