Queen Elizabeth National Park: The Complete Guide


Few newcomers to Uganda realize that the country also offers classic safari experiences—and that the best place to embark on one is in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Famed for its stunning scenery and diverse wildlife (including many big game species), this park is located on the equator in western Uganda and includes 764 square miles of land nestled between two of Africa's Great Lakes, Lake Edward and Lake George. 

These two bodies of water are connected by the Kazinga Channel and provide a year-round source of water for the park’s incredible variety of flora and fauna. Many different ecosystems exist within the park's boundaries, ranging from wetlands and equatorial forests to caves, open savannah, and volcanic hills. Above it all rises the jagged peaks of the distant Rwenzori Mountains, adding a touch of drama to the already beautiful scenery. Read the full travel article here.
