The 1978km2 Queen Elizabeth National Park is one of Uganda’s oldest protected areas. Originally gazette as the Lake George and Edward game reserves in 1925, it was upgraded to create one of Uganda’s first national parks in 1952. Queen Elizabeth lies directly on the equator. A pair of concrete hoops marks the spot where the 00 line crosses the Kasese road.
The park is home to over 95 mammal species and over 600 bird species. The park’s highest point, 1,350m above sea level, is found in the Katwe Explosion Craters while the lowest point is 910m on the shore of Lake Edward. Scenic and biodiverse, Queen Elizabeth National Park is Uganda’s most popular protected area. Diverse ecosystems, including sprawling savanna, shady forests, sparkling lakes and lush wetlands, provide ideal habitats for classic big game, forest primates, and birds.
An abundance of magnificent vistas include the jagged backdrop of the Rwenzori Mountains, rolling hills pocked with extinct volcanic craters; open, rift valley grasslands at Kasenyi and Ishasha, the hippo-linked Kazinga Channel; and the Mitumbe mountains in Congo rising above the distant, western shore of Lake Edward.
