Wildlife in Untamed Uganda

Journey into the heart of Uganda‘s Queen Elizabeth National Park, a haven of incredible wildlife and breathtaking landscapes.

Explore open savannas teeming with iconic African species such as lions, leopards, buffalo, and majestic elephants. Discover the volcanic landscape’s wonders and encounter the legendary black-maned tree-climbing lions, found nowhere else on the continent. From thrilling game drives to scenic boat cruises and the symphony of African birdlife, this park offers a quintessential Uganda safari experience.

Experience the beauty, diversity, and raw wildness of Queen Elizabeth National Park, where encounters with Uganda’s wildlife will leave you awestruck. Located at the foot of the Rwenzori Mountains in western Uganda, Queen Elizabeth National Park spans around 2,000 square kilometres. Features include open savannah grasslands, rolling hills, lush forests, and a remarkable collection of volcanic cones and deep craters.

This National Park is home to lions, leopards, elephants, and various antelope species. The park also hosts the rare Ugandan kob and the tree-climbing lions of the Ishasha region, whose males sport black manes, unique to this area. In addition to the wide variety of wildlife, birdwatching in the park is spectacular, with over 600 species recorded, comprising a quarter of Africa’s total birdlife.

Queen Elizabeth National Park offers regular 4×4 safaris and boat cruises on the Kazinga Channel. These cruises provide sightings of enormous Nile crocodiles and the world’s largest concentration of hippos. Because the park is largely free from large crowds of tourists, your wildlife experience is as real as it gets.
