Uganda’s most visited park, Queen Elizabeth NP stretches from Lake George to Lake Edward and includes diverse ecosystems (savannah, bushland, wetlands and rainforest) over ~1,978 km². It boasts 95 mammal species – notably tree-climbing lions in the Ishasha sector, large herds of Uganda kob, elephants, hippos and more – and over 600 bird species. Popular activities include game drives on the Kasenyi plains, boat cruises on the Kazinga Channel (to see hippos and waterbirds), and chimpanzee tracking in the Kyambura Gorge.
