MURCHISON FALLS; THE POWERFULL WATERFALL IN THE WORLD – UGANDA SAFARI NEWS


murchison fallsPositioned among the Nile River in the north west of Uganda in the mid of Murchison Falls National Park which is usually encountered on wildlife safaris in Uganda, Murchison Falls is the powerful water fall in the world.
The whole Nile River which is the longest river in the world squeezes its self to pass through a ravine that is below 8m wide before falling 43m below the Devils Cauldron forming a plume of spray and a thunderous roar marked by a trade mark rain bow forming one of the wonders that travellers on Uganda safaris and tours should never attempt to miss.
The Murchison falls is the greatest fall in Uganda and has never been explored in terms of water rafting adventures until of recent when a team of Russians planned an adventure safari tour to Uganda to carry out most risky adventure activities in Uganda and rafting on the Murchison falls was among.
The historical Murchison Falls derives its name from the President of the Royal Geographical Society Sir Roderick Murchison who had commissioned the big game hunter Sir Samuel Baker to go on the search for the source of Nile from the north who was to encounter the falls on 14th March 1864 and named it after his boss. The grand children of Baker have of recent undertaken a Uganda safari tour to explore the legendary journeys of their ancestral father.
