During your Murchison Falls delta cruise trip in Murchison Falls National Park, you can either start
from the Paraa jetty to the bottom of the dramatic falls and hike up from Baker’s rock to Fagio Gorge
to view the falls from above travelling over 17km. On the other hand, you can start from Paraa jetty,
cruising down the calm Nile waters to the papyrus filled delta. This is where the Nile joins Lake
Albert before branching off to its northern journey. Both offer spectacular viewing of wildlife on the
banks of the Nile the closest you can get to Uganda’s big game animals.
During this 3-hour trip, you will be encircled by luscious greenery and rugged rocks, peppered with
holes created by the rough waters of the falls. You’ll also witness the power of Murchison as water
surges through a narrow 7-metre gorge. On clear days, the spray of the falls interacts with sunlight
to produce a rainbow that envelopes the falls, adding to the beauty and creating an opportunity to
take a perfect photo.
During thelbAert delta cruise, there’s a high chance that you’ll see the primitive shoebill stork where

the river splits. You will see the shoebill stork shadowing hippo trails, which clears the water, so
they are able to fish. These birds are fishers, but they struggle to find food due to the thick
vegetation floating on top of the water.

water flow faster. So, the best period is December through to February and June through to
September. However, the dry season may present some challenges in booking because it is the peak
