Queen Elizabeth National Park is one of Uganda's most popular tourist destinations, known for its diverse ecosystems, including savannahs, forests, wetlands, and lakes. Visitors can enjoy classic African safaris with opportunities to see elephants, lions, hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of bird species. Game drives are a primary activity, and boat safaris on the Kazinga Channel offer unique wildlife viewing. The park can be visited year-round, but the dry seasons (June-August and December-February) are typically considered the best for wildlife viewing. Accessibility can be limited in some areas, particularly during the rainy seasons, requiring a 4x4 vehicle. Solo visits are possible but guided tours are highly recommended to maximize wildlife spotting and for safety. Costs can vary significantly depending on the type of accommodation and activities chosen, but expect to pay park entrance fees plus expenses for lodging, meals, and transportation. A typical visit duration is 2-3 days to fully experience the park's highlights.
