Description
7 Days Epic Nile Perch Fishing At Murchison falls
Key Details for the Safari

Best Time to Visit: The dry seasons, December to February and June to September, are best because low water levels make fishing more successful.

Requirements and Tips
Permits: A sport fishing permit from the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) is mandatory.
Safety: The area has crocodiles and hippos, so all fishing is done with guide assistance.
