Queen Elizabeth National Park is the second largest national park in Uganda with the highest biodiversity ratings of any national park in the world thus making it the most popular savanna national park in Uganda and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Park is home to close to 100 mammals and 500 hundred birds. The Kazinga channel which connects Lakes Edward and George has the highest concentration of hippopotamus in the world.

Queen Elizabeth National Park is the best place for seeing lions in Uganda including the rare tree climbing lions in the Ishasha sector.

Chimpanzee tracking can be done at Kalinju forest at the park’s edge making this 3 Days safari an ideal way to experience big game and primates.
