Uganda Wildlife Safari

Safari Highlights

Our short tour of the Queen Elizabeth National Park exposes you to one of the most diverse ecosystems in Africa. The park is situated in the western arm of the Great Rift Valley covering 1,978 square kilometers of semi-deciduous tropical forests, green meadows, arid savannahs and swamps bordering the river Nile.

The Ishasha sector of the park is also home to the famous tree climbing lions as well as the Uganda Kob, various antelope’s species, topis, hyenas, crocodiles, waterbucks, elephants, baboons, hippos, buffaloes, and 10 primate species including chimpanzees and monkeys. Over 500 species of birds have been recorded here such as the black bee-eater, king fisher, several species of falcons and eagles. During your visit, you also have the chance for a boat ride of the famous Kazinga channel, which links Lake Edward to Lake George.

Here, you also have the opportunity to go on an exhilarating search for the chimpanzees in the valley of the Kyambura Gorge with the further opportunity of observing a great number of tropical bird species in their natural habitat. The stunning Kyambura Gorge, also called the ‘Valley of Apes’, is located in the far eastern corner of the Queen Elizabeth National Park and is about 1 kilometer across at its broadest point and 100 meters deep.
