About Queen Elizabeth National Park

Queen Elizabeth National Park is one of Uganda’s most diverse and scenic wildlife destinations, located in the western region between Lake George and Lake Edward. Spanning vast savannah plains, crater lakes, wetlands, and tropical forests, the park offers a rich mosaic of habitats that support an incredible variety of wildlife. The park is home to over 95 mammal species, including elephants, buffaloes, lions, leopards, and the famous tree-climbing lions found in the Ishasha sector. It also boasts more than 600 bird species, making it a prime destination for birdwatchers. One of the highlights is a boat safari along the Kazinga Channel, where visitors can enjoy close-up views of hippos, crocodiles, and a wide range of birdlife along the shores. With its breathtaking landscapes set against the backdrop of the Rwenzori Mountains, Queen Elizabeth National Park offers an unforgettable safari experience. Activities such as game drives, chimpanzee tracking in the Kyambura Gorge, nature walks, and cultural encounters make it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking both adventure and relaxation.
