Murchison Falls National Park is a
national park in
Uganda managed by
Ugandan
Wildlife Authority. The park lies in north western
Uganda, spreading inland from the shore of
Lake Albert
around the
Victoria Nile.
It is named for the
Murchison Falls
waterfall, itself named for a president of
the
Royal
Geographical Society. The park is known for its
wildlife which has partly recovered from a
massacre by
poachers and troops under
Idi Amin. Together with the adjacent 748
square kilometres (289 sq mi)
Bugungu
Wildlife Reserve and the 720 square kilometres (280 sq mi)
Karuma
Wildlife Reserve, the park forms the
Murchison Falls Conservation Area.
