Background
Stretching across Uganda's southwestern region, Queen Elizabeth National Park is the country's most popular safari destination. Covering nearly 2,000 square kilometers, the park is a haven for diverse ecosystems ranging from savannahs and wetlands to lakeshores and forests. It boasts one of the highest biodiversity ratings in the world, including over 600 bird species and 95 mammal species.
Why Visit Queen Elizabeth Park
