Queen Elizabeth National Park

Queen Elizabeth National Park, one of Uganda’s top wildlife reserves, spans 1,978 sq. km in the country’s western region. Its diverse ecosystems—savannahs, forests, wetlands, and the majestic Rwenzori Mountains—support an incredible range of wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, and antelope species.

A major highlight is the rare tree-climbing lions of the Ishasha sector, offering a unique wildlife spectacle. The park is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, home to over 600 species, including the African fish eagle and the elusive shoebill stork.

Visitors can embark on game drives, nature walks, and boat cruises along the Kazinga Channel, where hippos and crocodiles bask in the sun. Cultural encounters with the Bakonzo people provide insight into Uganda’s rich heritage.

A haven for wildlife lovers, Queen Elizabeth National Park promises an unforgettable adventure amid Uganda’s stunning natural beauty.
