Undoubtedly Uganda’s most popular tourist destination, the Queen Elizabeth National Park boasts an impressive array of diverse ecosystems, including sprawling savanna, shady humid forests, sparkling lakes, and fertile wetlands. This makes it an ideal habitat for classic big game, ten primate species (including chimpanzees), and over 600 species of birds. Against the backdrop of the jagged Ruwenzori Mountains, the park offers magnificent vistas, including dozens of enormous craters carved dramatically into rolling green hills, panoramic views of the Kazinga Channel with its banks lined with hippos, buffalo, and elephants, and the endless Ishasha plains, whose fig trees hide lions ready to pounce on unsuspecting Uganda Cob herds. In addition to its outstanding wildlife attractions, the park has a fascinating cultural history, with many opportunities for visitors to meet local communities and enjoy storytelling, dance, music, and more. The park’s gazette status has ensured the conservation of its ecosystems, which, in turn, benefits the surrounding communities.
