3 Days Queen Elizabeth National Park

Our 3 days Queen Elizabeth National Park safari will take you to the designated biosphere reserve for humanity under UNESCO’s auspice. It will literally blow your minds with its beautiful scenery with just the perfect touch of the Rwenzori Mountains in the distance and amazing wildlife especially the rare Tree climbing lions of Ishasha which are only found here. A favorite way to view the game and birds is by taking a launch trip on the Kazinga channel and the Kyambura gorge that harbors a small population of chimpanzees and other primates. A visit to this park will be an excellent adventure.

Here is a detailed itinerary for the 3 days safari to Queen Elizabeth national park;
