About Queen Elizabeth National Park
Queen Elizabeth National Park is Uganda’s premier game viewing destination. It is one of the most diverse parks in the world. It has more than 610 bird species recorded (more than the entire British Isles!).
Located in south-west Uganda, are the famous tree-climbing lions. They are its undisputed wildlife stars. But, visitors on any Queen Elizabeth safari can also expect to see elephants and hippo. There are also crocodiles, buffalo and plenty of antelope species.
But the park’s real reward lies in its ability to offer a diverse range of safari activities. A boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel is almost obligatory. This is because of the rewarding game viewing and bird watching en route.
Kyambura Gorge offers a green sliver of forest to explore. It is home to chimpanzees and other primates. On-foot chimp tracking through the forest is available twice a day. This makes a wonderful contrast with the savannah game viewing in the rest of the park.
