The adjacent area is dominated by a multitude of wildlife worth encountering on Uganda wildlife safari including; Elephants, buffalos, Lions, giraffe, antelopes not forgetting a variety of birds. Being unique and majestically shaped feature, it has been at the center of every heart including Africa nationalistic diehards; it’s no wonder there for that its name was changed to Kabalega falls in 1970s by the then president Idi Amin in commemoration of the great King of Bunyoro who had seriously resisted the British dominancy in Uganda though the naming was short-lived to only his tenure. River Nile the home of this magnificent water fall is itself unique for visiting on safari to Uganda as it stretches from Lake Victoria to the Mediterranean Sea making it the longest River in the world flowing through Uganda’s lakes of Kyoga and Albert. Down the falls, the calm waters of the Nile provide a perfect basis for boat cruise on safari in Uganda with a splendid sight views of wildlife on the river side and the birds including the rare shoe bill stork.
