Queen Elizabeth Big Five Safari
Tree-climbing lions, crater lakes, and the Kazinga Channel
What to Expect
Queen Elizabeth National Park spans savannah, wetlands, and crater lakes in the shadow of the Rwenzori Mountains, and its wildlife is as varied as its landscape — elephants, buffalo, hippos along the Kazinga Channel, and the tree-climbing lions that have made the park's Ishasha sector famous. A boat cruise along the channel is one of the best ways to see concentrated wildlife in a short time, and the park sits close enough to Kibale and Bwindi to combine naturally with a primate trekking trip.
