Highlights of flying over Murchison Falls
"Seen from above, you’ll get a sense of the sheer magnitude of the falls, with the colossal weight of 300 cubic metres per second tumbling down a gap less than 10 metres wide as it gushes onwards to Egypt"
With sweeping terrain filled with grassy plains, tropical forests and the snow-capped Rwenzori mountains, Uganda boasts a phenomenal range of landscapes as well as the largest lake in Africa. Popular with wildlife enthusiasts and conservationists alike, this landlocked country is one of the most biodiverse in the world. A fertile environment for wildlife and birdlife to thrive, Murchison has a huge variety of ecosystems including the pam tree savannah and delta areas and Budongo Forest which is home to chimpanzees.
Exploring from the skies during your flight on a private helicopter allows you to optimise your time here, covering a huge amount of this majestic north-west territory. Survey the lush green vistas of the surrounding savannah populated with Borassus palm trees and fly over Lake Albert Delta for a birdseye perspective over this vast National Park.
