Murchison Falls National Park, national park located in northwestern Uganda, established in 1952. It occupies an area of 1,483 square miles (3,840 square km) of rolling grassland east of Lake Albert. The Victoria Nile bisects the park from east to west and travels through a rock cleft 23 feet (7 metres) wide over a cascade 141 feet (43 metres) high to form the Murchison Falls. The eastern boundary of the park is Karuma Falls.
