More About Queen Elizabeth National Park and Its Entry Fee
Queen Elizabeth National Park which is approximately 1,978 square kilometers (764 sq mi) is one of Uganda’s oldest national parks formed officially, along with Murchison Falls National Park in 1952. It is understandably Uganda’s most popular tourist destination located in the western region of Uganda, spanning the districts of Kasese, Kamwenge, Rubirizi, and Rukungiri.
The park lies in the shadow of the mighty Rwenzori Mountains alongside the flat terrain of the great western arm of the East African Rift Valley escarpments. As a result, this gives it diverse ecosystems and a variety of wildlife that got the national park listed as one of the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserves. Previously the park used to be called Lake Edward and Lake Gorge Game Reserve in the 1920s, before being gazetted.
Besides Kyambura Gorge and Kalinzu forest in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda is a naturally endowed country.
