Murchison Falls National Park lies in north western Uganda, spreading inland from the shore of Lake Albert around the Victoria Nile. It is named for the Murchison Falls waterfall, itself named for a president of the Royal Geographical Society. The park is known for its wildlife which has partly recovered from a massacre by poachers and troops under Idi Amin. The park is, together with the adjacent Bugungu Wildlife Refuge and Karuma Wildlife Refuge, part of Murchison Falls Conservation Area.
