TOUR UG4: Chimps, birds and game in Queen Elizabeth Park (4 Days)
This safari starts and finishes in Kampala.

Queen Elizabeth National Pari - An African Savanna
Queen Elizabeth National Park (QE), below the famous Rwenzori mountains, is an African Savannah Park, consisting of plain surroundings. The park is part of the western arm of the Great East African Rift Valley, and is centred round Lake Edward and Lake George. The launch-trip along the Kazinga Channel linking these two lakes is especially good for viewing hippo, buffalo, elephant and a large host of birds amounting to over 500 species! Around Ishasha, go on the hunt for the famous tree-climbing lions which lounge nonchalantly in the upper branches of high trees! The beautiful steeply forested Kyambura Gorge nearby, is home not only to chimpanzees but also the red-tailed monkey, black and white colobus and many bird species.
