Queen Elizabeth National Park
(Uganda)
Queen Elizabeth National Park boasts a diverse range of ecosystems, from open savannah to plentiful rainforest, from dense papyrus swamps and brooding crater lakes to the vastness of Lake Edward - it is little wonder that the park boasts one of the highest biodiversity ratings of any game reserve in the world.
Almost 100 mammal species and a remarkable 606 bird species make this superb safari territory. Among these are elephant, a profusion of hippos, the elusive giant forest hog and handsome Uganda kob all regularly sighted around the tourist village on the Mweya Peninsula - which also boasts a marvellous waterfront setting in the shadow of the Rwenzori Mountains.
Elsewhere, the remote Ishasha Sector is famed for its tree-climbing lions, the Kyambura Gorge harbours habituated chimps, the Maramagambo Forest is home to an alluring selection of forest monkeys and birds, and flocks of flamingo are resident on the crater lakes.
In and around Queen Elizabeth National Park
Queen Elizabeth is Uganda’s most visited National Park and for good reason: safaris here are excellent. Game drives and walking safaris are popular and you can also take part in boating safaris on the Kazinga Channel.
