7 DAYS Wildlife and Gorilla Trekking:
Queen Elizabeth National Park is the most popular and easily accessible game reserve in Uganda. Situated on the floor of the Albertine rift overlooking the mysterious Mountains of the moon (The Rwenzoris) in South-western Uganda, the park covers 2000 square KM and includes a remarkable variety of echo systems from semi-deciduous Tropical to green meadows, savannah, crater lakes, and swamps.
A total of 95 mammal species have been recorded here, the highest for any Ugandan National Park. It is also home to the most famous tree-climbing lions along with the Ishasha Sector, the Ugandan Kob, and other Antelopes species, as well as Elephants, Buffalos, Hippos, Baboons, and elusive primates in the scenic Kyambura gorge. An impressive 547 confirmed bird species have been recorded in Queen Elizabeth.
This is one of the highest totals in the World and is truly remarkable for such relatively small reserves. In addition to all these fascinating game viewing and birding, a relaxing boat trip along the Kazinga Channel will give you a good time.
After all, you will have a chance to stand eye to eye with the Ugandan Giant mountain Gorillas in Bwindi impenetrable National park. Remember Uganda counts half the number of gorillas that are found in Uganda. It counts a total of 1063 gorillas in Uganda. Remember this is the best experience when you visit Uganda.
