Birding and
Chimpanzee
This
safari starts and ends in Kampala.
Queen
Elizabeth National Park (QE), below the
famous Rwenzori mountains, is an African
savannah park, consisting of plain surroundings.
The park which is part of the western arm
of the Great East African Rift Valley, is
centred around Lake Edward and Lake George.
The launch trip along the Kazinga Channel
linking these two lakes is especially good
for viewing hippo, buffalo, elephant and
a large host of birds amounting to over
500 species! Around Ishasha go on
the hunt for the famous tree-climbing lions
which lounge nonchalantly in the upper branches
of high trees! The beautiful steeply forested
Kyambura Gorge nearby, is home not only
to chimpanzees but also the red-tailed monkey,
black and white colobus and many bird species.
