The Queen Elizabeth national park is Uganda’s most visited national park. This park is known for its abundance in wildlife of about 95 mammal species and over 600 bird species but it’s famous for its tree-climbing lions, whose males sport black manes in an area called Ishasha in Rukungiri.
This park lies on 2.056 sq. km of land situated south of the Rwenzori Mountains, bordering Congo and including two lakes, George and Edward, which are connected through the natural Kazinga Channel. It is an ecosystem made of wetland and open savannah areas, at an altitude of 910m at Lake Edward.
Most tourists who come to Uganda visit more than one destination. You can combine your Queen Elizabeth Tours safari with gorilla trekking safaris in Bwindi, or tour Murchison Falls National Park.
For relaxation after your wildlife safari, you can visit Ssese Islands but if you are more interested in adventure, take on rafting on the Nile, chimpanzee trekking in Kibale, Rwenzori Mountains hiking and Mount Elgon hike.
