Overview
Take a trip to Queen Elizabeth National Park on your Uganda Vacation
Located in western Uganda and spread over four districts is Queen Elizabeth National Park. The country’s most visited park on a Uganda safari, it occupies an estimated 1,978 square kilometres (764 square miles), extending from Lake George in the northeast to Lake Edward in the southwest.
In the late 1920s, two separate game reserves were established at Lake George and Lake Edward. These reserves were combined and a national park was designated in 1954, named in honour of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain who had visited Uganda in 1952. While many animals were killed during the Uganda-Tanzania war of the late 1970s, the park has been successful in recovering several species including hippopotamus, elephants, leopards and chimpanzees to add to the enjoyment of a Uganda safari.
