QUEEN ELIZABETH NATIONAL PARK

Queen Elizabeth National Park

Queen Elizabeth National Reserve is Uganda's most popular savannah reserve and features the most diverse species of any Ugandan park. Grassland Savannah, rainforests, marshes, and lakes are among the environments. This habitat supports a diverse spectrum of big animals including primates. The iconic Big Five are available as well as chimp tracking.

Scenery

The National Park is surrounded by the Rwenzori Mountains. Kazinga Channel, which connects Lake Edward and Lake George, and other crater lakes are very beautiful. The vast savannah is the easiest approachable region of the park, however, other huge forest areas are also accessible as well to the public. For instance, the Kyambura Gorge and the vast Maramagambo forest in the southeast.

Weather & Climate

The location of Queen Elizabeth National Park to the equator assures consistently mild temperatures all year round. Heavy rain may cause several routes inaccessible during the rainy season, usually starting from March to May, and August to December. While there is no actual dry season, however, the rainfall reduces slightly, if not altogether, from January to February and June to July.

Wildlife

wHEN Tourists can easily find lions for the most part in this park. In Uganda, lion populations are predominant in grassy plains such as Kasenyi. In addition, when visiting the Ishasha area, you will find the famous tree-climbing tiger here. In the savannah, tourists can also admire many other animals such as elephants, hippos, buffalos, and more.

Best Time to Visit

The days of the Wet seasons is usually characterized by short but heavy rainfalls, although this is also when the park's environment is verdant and there are many species passing through. However, for monkey trekking, it is highly recommended to travel during the dry months when the park's pathways are more stable underfoot.

Through Uganda Immigration Services, international travelers can apply for a visa quickly in the most convenient way.
