Leopard Filming In Murchison Falls NP: Murchison Falls National Park located approximately 305km a journey that requires at least 6-hours of driving or 1.5 hours if flying with either Aerolink Uganda out of Entebbe International airport or Fly Uganda flying out of Kajjansi airfield.
The Leopard population in Murchison Falls National Park is thriving – this makes it a viable location to consider for Leopard Filming In Uganda.
The park is home to not only Leopards but also the large-sized African lions, elephants, buffalos, giraffes, and many other wildlife species and birds. While here, you could go on a boat safari on the River Nile – Africa’s Longest river and also home to Africas largest crocodile – the Nile Crocodiles – it’s also possible to film crocodiles here.

However, January and February can be very hot causing the filming equipment to heat up. For landscape and scenery lovers, the best time to come is in the Wet season months of June to November.
