Amazing wildlife, a huge variety of birds and primates are typical for the Queen Elizabeth National Park, located right at the border to the DR Kongo. The park stretches over a huge area from north to south where each part has its own distinct vegetation and landscape. Herbivores such as elephant, cape buffalos, topis, waterbucks and Ugandan kob are widespread all over the park. Lion, leopard and spotted hyena are the main predators.
BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD
During our game drive from Ishasha sector to Kazinga channel we were incredibly lucky to spot a Ross’s turaco and a group of red-tailed monkeys. The famous Kazinga channel connects Lake George with Lake Eduard and is home to hippos, crocodiles and many species of birds like cormorant, pelican, stork and kingfisher. Especially the pied kingfisher can be found in big numbers. Welcome to our birding and wildlife safari to Queen Elizabeth National Park and Kazinga channel in Uganda in August 2019. We stayed two nights at the wonderful Ishasha Wilderness Camp in the Ishasha sector and two nights at the Katara Lodge located right at the edge of the rift valley near the famous Kazinga channel.
Jobs fill your pockets, but adventures fill your soul.
