Queen Elizabeth National Park is located in the western arm of the great East African Rift valley. It covers an area of 2000 square kilometers, bordered to the north by the 'Mountains of the Moon' (Rwenzori Mountain ranges), and to the west by Lake Edward. The park has a range of habitat types and so provides opportunity to see a variety of wildlife.  The safari around the park is provided in three different forms so as to give you the greatest opportunity not only to enjoy the stunning scenery in and around the park, but also to see the most of the wildlife available. The safaris include game drives, launch trips, and guided walks.

Magnificent herds of elephants trekking in the savannahs, Hippos lazing in muddy wallows, and Buffaloes grazing on the grassy plains, as well as prides of lions resting after a heavy mid-day meal, a variety of antelope and a host of other species of mammals, birds, and reptiles including the Nile crocodile are a must see in the game drive. A drive to Isasha on the southern part of the park takes you to one of the only two sites in the world where you can see tree climbing Lions.

The Maramagambo forest is home to over 380 bird species and therefore a must for bird lovers. Several primate species including the rare L'Hoest monkey, and many butterfly species can also be sighted. Another walk takes you to the eastern corner of the park to the Kyambura Gorge. The three hour walk in this absolutely beautiful gorge offers opportunity to see several primate species including the endangered chimpanzee.
