Stretching from the Rwenzori foothills to the Tanzanian border, Queen Elizabeth National Park packs more diversity into its boundaries than almost any other park in Africa. It is the centrepiece of our Queen Elizabeth Wildlife and Chimp Trek tour.
The Ishasha Sector: Tree-Climbing Lions
The southern Ishasha sector is famous worldwide for lions that have learned to rest in the branches of fig trees — a behaviour documented in only two places on earth. Afternoon drives through Ishasha open savannah offer some of the most dramatic lion sightings in Uganda.
The Kazinga Channel
The 40-kilometre channel linking Lakes George and Edward hosts what is probably the world largest concentration of hippos outside the Nile. A two-hour boat cruise is the best way to experience them alongside crocodiles, elephants, and over 100 waterbird species.
Kyambura Gorge: The Underground Forest
Descend into this dramatic riverine gorge to track a habituated chimpanzee community. The contrast between the open savannah above and the lush forest floor below makes Kyambura one of Uganda most atmospheric wildlife experiences.
