Uganda's largest park, with the Nile running straight through it. We take a boat upriver toward the foot of the falls, then walk to the top, where the whole river forces its way through a gap about seven meters wide.

North of the river, game drives cross open grassland with giraffes, buffalo, elephants and lions.
