Queen Elizabeth National Park

Tree-climbing lions, Kazinga Channel, and classic East African savanna.

Queen Elizabeth is Uganda's most diverse savanna park — crater lakes, open plains, and the Kazinga Channel linking Lake George and Lake Edward. Mwanzo guides know Ishasha's lion prides, Kyambura Gorge chimps, and the best lodge sectors for your dates. Pair with Bwindi gorilla trekking on 7–10 day Uganda safari itineraries.
