A hike at the top of Murchison Falls, gives you a majestic awe at the Nile forcing its way through a gap in the rocks, gushing down in a rambling melody, only 7 metres (23 ft) wide, and tumbles 43 metres (141 ft), before flowing westward into Lake Albert. The outlet of Lake Victoria sends around 300 cubic meters per second (11,000 ft³/s) of water over the falls, squeezed into a gorge less than ten metres (30 ft) wide.
