The largest and oldest national park in Uganda, Murchison Falls, is home to about 451 bird species and 76 mammals that can be seen during a game or safari drive that follows the legally permitted UWA game routes. Off-track driving is prohibited in Uganda’s protected regions, including Murchison Falls National Park, and is punishable by up to $150.
The following are the designated game viewing tracks for game drives in the Murchison Falls National Park.
- The Buligi track, which was once thought to be the best game track in Murchison Falls National Park, lost its reputation due to the constant oil exploration activities (heavy truck movements), which caused the wildlife to move to other, more peaceful areas of the expansive park. But before all of this, there was a ton of animals roaming the Buligi game track’s vast stretches. The Buffalo were grazing on the greener flora, the Rothschild giraffes were nibbling on the acacia trees, and the Buligi leopards preferred to lie on the larger, isolated tree along this track. The pleasure of following this track was just incredible.
- The Queen’s track is a 13-kilometer game route in Murchison Falls National Park that connects to the Victoria and Albert track. It is known for some of the park’s most incredible wildlife encounters, including the lion sighting.
- Victoria track: This 17-kilometer trail leads to and from the delta side and connects the well-known Queen’s Track and the Buligi Track. Visitors who travel this path frequently report seeing lions and the elusive leopards of Murchison Falls National Park.
- Albert Track: this is possibly the most picturesque track for safaris and game drives. This trail follows the Albert Nile’s littoral as it empties into Sudan. Many animals can be seen swimming in the Nile or drinking along this trail. Additionally, there is a region that is primarily covered with acacia forests and is a well-liked destination for tourists hoping to see the endangered leopards of Murchison Falls National Park.
- Pakuba track: Idi Amin’s preferred retreat in Murchison Falls National Park was the Pakuba Track, which leads to the remains of the formerly magnificent Pakuba Lodge. Amin gave private tours of Murchison Falls National Park and welcomed friends and family at his hotel.
Leopards have been seen sitting on the ruins during game drives, and the ruins are now home to Spotted Hyenas. This course is just as picturesque as the Albert track because it follows the Albert Nile’s shoreline.
