About Queen Elizabeth National Park
Queen Elizabeth National Park which is approximately 1,978 square kilometers (764 sq mi) is one of Uganda’s oldest parks formed officially, along with Murchison Falls National Park in 1952. It is understandably Uganda’s most popular tourist destination found in the western region of Uganda, spanning the districts of Kasese, Kamwenge, Rubirizi, and Rukungiri. The park was listed among the UNESCO world biosphere reserves, though it used to be called Lake Edward and Lake Gorge game reserve in the 1920s, before being gazetted.
Queen Elizabeth National Park extends from Lake George in the northeast to Lake Edward in the southwest. It also includes the famous Kazinga Channel that connects the two lakes, which has also favored a good number of aquatic wildlife like hippos, crocodiles, fish, and over 600 bird species commonly sighted at the Kasenyi birding site.
