The best time to visit Murchison Falls National Park
Murchison Falls National Park is fun to visit any time, but December to February and June to September are the best. During these times, there’s not much rain, so the roads to see animals on your drives stay dry and easy to travel. Animals come to water spots more often in the dry season, making them easier to find during your game drives.
