With more than 95 mammals and over 600 bird species, the park offers an outstanding wildlife experience. The Kasenyi plains are ideal for classic game drives, where visitors can spot elephants, buffaloes, lions, hyenas, and large herds of antelopes. The famous Ishasha sector in the south is home to the legendary tree-climbing lions, a rare and remarkable sight unique to just a few places in Africa.
A must-do activity in the park is the Kazinga Channel Boat Cruise, which brings you close to hundreds of hippos, crocodiles, elephants, and vibrant birdlife along the water’s edge. For primate lovers, Kyambura Gorge offers chimpanzee tracking and beautiful forest walks set within a steep and picturesque valley.
From crater-lake drives and bird watching to cultural interactions with local communities, Queen Elizabeth National Park provides a rich, immersive safari experience suitable for every type of traveler. Its strategic location also makes it easy to combine visits to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Kibale Forest, or Murchison Falls, creating a complete Ugandan adventure.
