• Opt for a knowledgeable guide who can enhance your safari experience with their expertise in wildlife and the local area.

2. Best Time to Visit

• The dry seasons, from December to February and from June to September, are generally considered the best time to visit Murchison Falls National Park, as wildlife is more concentrated around water sources.
• During these months, the weather is pleasant, with less rainfall and fewer mosquitoes, providing optimal conditions for game drives and outdoor activities.
• However, if you’re a bird enthusiast, the wet season (March to May and October to November) offers a fantastic opportunity to witness migratory bird species in abundance.

4. Essential Packing Tips

• Wear comfortable and breathable clothing in neutral colors, ideally long-sleeved shirts and long pants to protect yourself from insects and the sun.

• Pack a pair of sturdy walking shoes or boots for the walks and hikes through the park.
• Consider carrying a small backpack to keep essentials like water, snacks, and sunscreen easily accessible.
