Wildlife
What You Might Encounter
Shoebill Stork
One of the world's most sought-after birds — a prehistoric-looking giant that stalks lungfish in the Nile's papyrus swamps.
Nile Crocodile
The Nile below Murchison Falls teems with enormous crocs, easily spotted from the park's famous boat cruise.
Elephant
Murchison supports one of Uganda's largest elephant populations, often seen in large herds near the Victoria Nile.
Rothschild's Giraffe
One of the rarest giraffe subspecies — a conservation success story centred on Murchison's northern bank.
Lion
A recovering lion population roams the northern savannah, best located on morning game drives.
Cheetah
One of the few Ugandan parks where cheetah can still be sighted on the open Narus Valley plains.
Ostrich
Uganda's only ostrich population struts across Kidepo's semi-arid plains.
Bat-Eared Fox
These small, large-eared canids are common in Kidepo's scrubland — absent from Uganda's other parks.
Caracal
The elusive tufted-eared cat is occasionally spotted at dawn in the rocky Narus Valley.
White Rhino
After local extinction in the 1980s, rhinos were reintroduced to Uganda at Ziwa. Tracking them on foot with a ranger is a uniquely personal encounter.
