The Ultimate Angler’s Retreat in the Wild Heart of Africa
Murchison Falls National Park is where the Nile River roars through a narrow gorge, plunging 43 metres before calming into a broad and steady flow. It is here, amid one of Africa’s most dramatic landscapes, that anglers and nature lovers alike will find an extraordinary fishing experience unlike any other. This luxury fishing safari is curated for those who seek both the thrill of the catch and the serenity of the wild, all within an environment that balances comfort with the untamed beauty of Uganda’s premier national park.

The Fishing Experience
Fishing on the Nile River at Murchison Falls is both an art and a test of skill, requiring patience, precision, and a keen sense of the river’s pulse. The target catch on this expedition is the formidable Nile perch, a fish that has been known to reach weights of over 100 kilograms. Alongside this prized catch, expect to encounter a variety of other species, including tilapia, catfish, and the aggressive tiger fish, making every cast an exhilarating challenge.
Your fishing sessions will take place both from the riverbanks and from a private boat, ensuring access to the best fishing spots. The experience is tailored to the rhythms of the river, with early morning and late afternoon excursions when the fish are most active. Expert guides, well-versed in the techniques of lure fishing and live baiting, will be on hand to provide insights and ensure a rewarding experience.

Wildlife Encounters Beyond the Rod and Reel
While fishing is at the heart of this safari, the setting in Murchison Falls National Park offers an unparalleled opportunity to witness Africa’s most iconic wildlife in their natural habitat. Along the Nile, hippos wallow in the shallows, crocodiles bask in the sun, and herds of elephants come down to drink. The sky is alive with birdlife, from the striking African fish eagle to the elusive shoebill stork, a sighting that is a highlight for both birdwatchers and photographers.
In addition to fishing, you will embark on a classic game drive through the park’s golden savannah, where you’ll have the chance to spot lions, leopards, buffalo, giraffes, and antelopes. A stop at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary en route to Murchison Falls allows for a rare opportunity to track rhinos on foot, completing the Big Five safari experience.
