Murchison Falls National park 
The activity hiking is one of the most interesting activity that one can’t miss out especially for those who love nature. Passing through the untouched vegetation with a great scenery is a rewarding activity .Murchison falls is one of the fall that you couldn’t miss out in case you’re interested in experiencing the Top of the falls hike 
Visitors going for the hike start the journey from Bakers point. This is  the point that Sir Samuel Baker started the hike to the top the falls and it is the same point that he declared the falls as being beautiful you will also take trail that he took and you will come to think of it how he felt and what was running through his minds. You will follow the Guide as he takes you through the trails and this is done after briefing. As they say the higher you go the cooler it becomes, for the top of the falls hike each step you reach the scenery of the river just grows more beautiful and more interesting. Since the water forces its self through a narrow path it was forced to create another fall which is called Uhuru  meaning independence. The view of this fall just grows awesome the more you get closer to the falls.

Finally you exhaust the trails and you’re on top of the falls .A warm welcome of the rocks being hit by the waters forming a uniform rhythm which will sooth your minds making you forget about  how tiresome the hike has been to reach the amazing point will be rewarded to your ears . The place is cool, the air there is too fresh. The splashes of the waters that  struggle to pass through the narrow path hitting rocks just complement it
