Since 1997 many anglers from all over the world have experienced Uganda Fishing Safaris.  Among these  Jeremy Wade, John Wilson and Zeb Hogan of Monster Fish National Geographic TV. The Nile River in Murchison Falls National park is a favourable spot for Fishing safaris.

The Murchison Falls National Parks’ most successful months vary from year to year for Uganda Fishing Safaris. December to March and June to October produce better fishing results. We catch all year round it’s just that in these months there is less chance of rain. The year has random Thunderstorms. Avoid The rainy season beginning from April to May.
