English explorers Samuel and Florence Baker named Murchison Falls named after the president of the Royal Geographical Society, Roderick Murchison. The local name, Kabalega Falls, is a remnant of Ugandan military officer and former president Idi Amin’s regime. In the 1970s, Amin unofficially renamed Murchison Falls to Kabalega Falls in reference to Kabalega of Bunyoro, the late-19th-century king of Bunyoro, Uganda.
The Top View
At the top of Murchison falls is an incredible scene indeed. The Nile, Africa's longest river goes through a narrow crevice in the rocks only 7meters wide before violently dipping down 43meters.
