Queen Elizabeth National Park

Welcome To Queen Elizabeth National Park

As Uganda’s second largest National Park, after Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth National Park is a place of outstanding beauty and extreme biodiversity. Queen Elizabeth National Park, formerly Ruwenzori National Park, national park located in south-western Uganda. It occupies an area of 764 square miles (1,978 square km) in a region of rolling plains east of Lake Edward and foothills south of the Ruwenzori Mountains. The park is located within the Western Rift Valley, and its landscape is dotted with volcanic craters of the Pleistocene Epoch. It’s Uganda’s most popular savannah reserve and has the widest variety of wildlife of any Ugandan park. The variety of habitats includes grassland savannah, forests, wetlands and lakes. This provides the setting for an extensive range of large mammals and primates. Four of the Big five are present (rhino are absent) and chimp tracking is available. Stretching from the crater foothills of the Rwenzori Range, down to the remote Ishasha in the south, wildlife changes as you travel. Flamingos loiter round the crater lakes in the north, and you will find what is said to be the largest concentration of hippos lounging in the Kazinga channel. Other wildlife you may encounter includes warthog, giant forest hog, rare aquatic sitatunga and waterbuck.

September 2019

We came to Kenya for our honeymoon and organized our 4 day private safari trip with Andy, leaving from Nairobi and stopping at Lake Nakuru, followed by Masai Mara and back to Nairobi. We were throughly satisfied with our experience and would highly recommend Andy who went out of his way to tailor the trip to our preferences including letting.
