Tree-climbing lions and the Kazinga Channel

13 views

Queen Elizabeth National Park stretches from crater lakes to the Kazinga Channel, where boats drift past hippos, elephants, and thick birdlife. In Ishasha, tree-climbing lions are the headline — never guaranteed, always worth the patience. We keep drives flexible so you linger when the light and animals align. Compared with busier East African circuits, QENP still offers long quiet stretches — one reason travelers choose Uganda.

Quick tips

Take these with you

  • Budget time for both Kasenyi plains and a Kazinga cruise.
  • Ishasha is a detour — worth it when schedules allow.
  • Pair with Sipi Falls for hills after savanna.
