Hippo's at Ishasha Mongoose at Mweya Sunset - Kazinga Channel

Queen Elizabeth National Park

A wonderful Park at the base of the Ruwenzori Mountain range and in the Rift Valley. It has Lion, Elephant, Uganda Kob and the rare Giant Forest Hog.

A launch trip along the Kazinga channel between the Lakes George and Edward, encounter wetlands teeming with Hippo and migrant birdlife; the bird checklist for this Park stands presently at 606 bird species.

Ishasha, located at the southern end of the Park is the best location in Uganda for camping, but requires a serious 4WD to get there. Camping next to the Ishasha River with the vociferous Hippos and giggling Hyena are one of those memories that will last a lifetime.

Walking along the riverine forest with a ranger is also a challenge. The road system within this sector of the Park is poor and a ranger can be useful.

The beauty, tranquillity and lack of anyone else really make this the ultimate safari destination for the adventurous soul!
