3 Day Trip to Queen Elizabeth & Lake Mburo
Queen Elizabeth National Park is understandably Uganda’s most popular tourist destination. The park’s diverse ecosystems, which include sprawling savanna, shady, humid forests, sparkling lakes, and fertile wetlands make it the ideal habitat for a classic big game, ten primate species including chimpanzees and over 600 species of birds.
Set against the backdrop of the jagged Ruwenzori mountains, the park’s magnificent vistas include dozen of enormous creator carved dramatically into rolling green hills, panoramic views of the Kazinga channel with its backs lined with hippos, buffalos and elephants, and the endless Ishasha plains whose fig trees hide lions ready to pounce on herds of unsuspecting Uganda Kob As well as its outstanding wildlife attractions, Queen Elizabeth national park has a fascinating cultural history. There are so many opportunities for visitors to meet the local communities and enjoy storytelling, dance, music and more. The park was founded in 1952 as Kazinga national park and renamed two years later to commemorate a visit by Queen Elizabeth II.
