French3 Days Wildlife Safari to Queen Elizabeth National Park
Offered by - Jamie Jungle Safaris
Tour Features
Queen Elizabeth national park is understandably Uganda’s most popular tourist destination. It’s a diverse ecosystem, which include sprawling savanna, shady, humid forest, sparkling lakes and fertile wetlands, make it the ideal habitat for classic big game, ten primate species including chimpanzees and over 600 species of birds. The park includes dozens of enormous craters carved dramatically into rolling green hills, panoramic views of the kazinga channel with its banks lined with hippos, buffalos and elephants, and the endless ishasha plains, whose fig trees hide lions ready to pounce on herds of unsuspecting Ugandan Kobs. The park was founded in 1952 as kazinga national park, and renamed two years later to commemorate a visit by Queen Elizabeth II. Accessibility to Queen Elizabeth national park can be accessed most easily from Kampala. The tarmac from Kampala via Mbarara town and bushenyi leads to the center of the park passing 22 km from mwenya peninsula, the main tourism hub. Approaching the park from south via Mbarara covers a distance of 420km while the north through fort portal covers a total of 410
