Fascinating to Note: This name “Murchison falls” was titled by a British explore Samuel Baker back in 1864. It was during that period that Samuel Baker was aiming to safeguard his wife Florence living in Bulgaria from the Harem so she chose to offer him company. She joined her husband on the expedition across Africa – quite a task then and ended up at the Murchison Falls hence naming it so in 1864 with respect to the president of the Royal Geographical Society. Also Hemingway has a history with regards to Murchison Falls Park; it was here that he crash landed back in 1954 in a plane and then the new rescue plane on takeoff got fire in the engine hence narrowly escaping death and rushed off to Masindi Hospital where he got treatment. Humphrey Bogart together with Kathryn Hepburn made the film “African Queen” with scenes on the Nile and on Lake Albert within Murchison Falls Park.
