Queen Elizabeth National Park highlights

Kazinga Channel
The Kazinga Channel provides a truly unique wildlife experience. Flowing between Lake Edward, which borders the Congo in the west of the park, to little Lake George in the northeast, this narrow channel is perfect for lazy boat cruises that let you sit back and gaze at the widescreen wildlife passing by. Most abundant are the hippos, which absolutely cram themselves in along the shoreline. Top tip: keep your camera strap around your neck. If one lurches out the water as you’re trying to take a picture, there’s a good chance you’ll drop your camera.The riverbanks attract plenty of other species, from open-jawed Nile crocodiles to enormous buffalo and grazing herds of elephants. There are plenty of birds too – almost 600 species – with giant kingfishers, bee-eaters, weaverbirds, saddle-billed storks and fish eagles most commonly seen.
Ishasha
The more remote southern sector is known for one thing: its tree-climbing lions. Climbing trees is very rare behaviour for these felines. Not only are there no other tree-climbing lions in Uganda, there is only one other population known to do this – and they live hundreds of miles away in Tanzania. It’s been speculated that Ishasha’s lions lounge in the branches to scan the horizon for prey, to take advantage of the breeze, or perhaps to escape the tsetse flies that hover closer to the ground, but in reality this behaviour remains a mystery. Either way, it makes them easier to spot on game drives, as you look out for their silhouettes in the gnarled fig trees, and their twitching tails dangling from the branches.Kyambura Gorge
This ‘underground forest’ is a tree-filled chasm that runs down the east of Queen Elizabeth National Park, some 100m deep and a kilometre across at its widest point. As a geographical feature it’s pretty impressive, but the real reason to descend into its depths are the resident chimpanzees that live in the rainforest canopy. Some of the chimps have been habituated and can be tracked with a Uganda Wildlife Authority guide, but keep in mind that sightings here are far less frequent that in other regions (for this reason the price tag, at just US $50, is a lot lower, too). Even without seeing chimps a walking safari here is enjoyable, and you can keep a lookout for black and white colobus, vervet and red monkeys, as well as abundant birdlife, including colourful bee-eaters and the aquatic finfoot.Our top Uganda Vacation

How to visit
Queen Elizabeth National Park
Thanks to Uganda’s small size, vacations rarely include domestic flights, although do be prepared for some long and often bumpy drives between the various highlights. Fortunately, the scenery is lovely enough to keep you more than occupied, even on a full day’s journey. Small group tours typically spend two to four days exploring the different sectors of the park, with a mix of walking tours, game drives and river cruises. A longer tour might also include visits to local villages.
