Queen Elizabeth National Park is Uganda’s most visited savannah national park and one of East Africa’s most diverse wildlife destinations. Located in western Uganda between Lake George and Lake Edward, the park covers almost 2,000 square kilometres of savannah, forests, wetlands, crater lakes, and the famous Kazinga Channel. This remarkable diversity of habitats supports one of Africa’s richest concentrations of wildlife, making the park a highlight of Uganda Safaris and one of the country’s premier destinations for wildlife viewing, birdwatching, and primate encounters.

The park is renowned for its exceptional wildlife experiences. Game Drives across the Kasenyi Plains provide excellent opportunities to observe lions, elephants, buffaloes, Uganda kob, warthogs, hyenas, and numerous antelope species. The remote Ishasha Sector is internationally famous for its rare tree-climbing lions, while the spectacular Kazinga Channel Boat Safari offers close encounters with hippos, Nile crocodiles, elephants, buffaloes, and hundreds of bird species along its shores. Beyond traditional game viewing, the park is home to Kyambura Gorge, often called the “Valley of Apes,” where visitors can enjoy unforgettable Chimpanzee Tracking Safaris in a dramatic tropical forest hidden beneath the surrounding savannah. With more than 600 recorded bird species, Queen Elizabeth National Park is also recognised as one of Africa’s finest destinations for Birding Safaris.
