Queen Elizabeth National Park is understandably Uganda’s
most popular tourist destination.

wetlands, make it the ideal habitat for classic big game, ten
primate species including chimpanzees and over 600 species of
birds. Set against the magnificent backdrop of the jagged
Rwenzori Mountains, the park’s magnificent vistas include 72
enormous craters carved brutally 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 herds of
unsuspecting Uganda kob.
