Destination

Queen Elizabeth National Park

Initially known as Kazinga National Park in the year 1952  and renamed two years later to commemorate the visit by Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain . Spanning the equator line that crosses at 0 degrees, the park supports at least 95 species of mammals, including 10 primate species such as the chimpanzees in Kyambura gorge, and over 600 bird species making it a unique place to visit the whole of east Africa. One of Uganda’s oldest parks and second largest after Murchison falls national park, the park is about 1978 sq and  The Katwe explosion craters known for saline waters mark the park’s highest point at 1,350m above sea level, whereas the lowest point is 910m, at Lake Edward.

 

Uniquely Ours

The fact is that the park is Uganda’s most popular tourist destination. A uniquely diverse ecosystem, starting from the sprawling savanna, humid rain forests, fertile wetlands, sparkling lakes, and, make it the ideal habitat for a classic big game.

Set at the footprints of the jagged Rwenzori Mountains, the park is blessed with dozens of enormous craters carved dramatically into the rolling green hills, the biggest Kazinga channel with the highest population of hippopotamuses lined on its banks, the endless great Ishasha plains, whose magical fig trees harbor lions ready to always give a surprise visit to the prey. Leopards and hyenas, serval cats, and many others. The park was by then home of nomads who used to graze and stay within before being gazetted, this brings a strong history to the communities surrounding the park and gives visitors chances of enjoying the folk songs, and stories and participating in different community activities like fishing.

The vegetation of queen Elizabeth national park consists of small trees’ primary thickets, like the acacias. The park, however, has five levels of vegetation; bushy grassland, thorny Acacia woodland, Lakeshore or swamp vegetation, and forest grassland. And this brings up the fact that it tends to be moist and woody in the west than the eastern part of Most of Queen Elizabeth.
