The next stop on our journey was to Murchison Falls National Park in the northern part of Uganda. In my opinion it is the most beautiful park in the country offering the most diversity. The Albert Nile runs through the park and the feature here in the photo is what gives the park its name--Murchison Falls. As you can imagine, the Nile is a huge river, but at this particular point the water builds up and then rushes through this gap in the escarpment which is only 7 meters wide. The volume of water which cascades through this space creates a deafening roar and the mist and spray it kicks up is incredible and quite refreshing on a warm day. It also generates a mass of foaming froth that can be found miles downriver. Near the falls it can look like the vanilla ice cream on top of a root beer float. Truly amazing!
