Queen Elizabeth National Park in western Uganda
This park is located in the western area of the Great Rift Valley of East Africa, near the famous Rwenzori Mountains, or "Mountains of the Moon" which Livingstone had to cross in his quest to find the source of the White Nile. The park covers almost 2000 square kilometres, and includes a remarkable variety of ecosystems from semi-deciduous tropical forest to green meadows, savannah, crater lakes and swamps. There is a wide range of wildlife in the park, including lion, leopard, elephant, hippo, buffalo, hyena, a host of smaller game, small primates and over 500 bird species. The remote Ishasha area of the park is an idyllic place for those who enjoy true wilderness, with adventure filled game drives to game viewing at Ishasha Wilderness Camp on the banks of the Ntungwe River.
