Safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda

Queen Elizabeth National Park is one of the most popular safari destinations in all of Uganda. The park is renowned for diverse ecosystems and an abundance of wildlife and the Ishasha sector within the park is one of the few places in the world where you can spot tree climbing lions!

Unlike other safari destinations in Africa, Queen Elizabeth National Park was not overcrowded, giving us an opportunity to observe lions, elephants, buffaloes, kobs, birds, and other wildlife without the crowds.

UGANDA Safari | QUEEN ELIZABETH NATIONAL PARK

Our trip to Uganda took 10 days, and I'm sure I'll never forget it. On the top of the cake was the company of two of my sons, Marta and João, since Joana couldn't come due to her busy work agenda. Finally a great thanks to Carlos, long time true friend who, with Red Chilli Hideaway have designed the trip.

This is the second video of a serie of video I'll produce, and I pretend to give you a quick feel of this wonderful and friendly country, UGANDA!

Most tourists who come to Uganda visit more than one destination. You can combine your Queen Elizabeth safari with gorilla trekking safaris in Bwindi, or tour Murchison Falls National Park. For relaxation after your wildlife safari, you can visit Ssese Islands but if you are more interested in adventure, take on rafting on the nile, chimpanzee trekking in Kibale, Rwenzori Mountains climbing and Mount elgon hike.

Queen Elizabeth National Park occupies an estimated 1,978 square kilometres (764 sq mi). The park extends from Lake George in the north-east to Lake Edward in the south-west and includes the Kazinga Channel connecting the two lakes.

The park was founded in 1952 as Kazinga National Park. It was renamed two years later to commemorate a visit by Queen Elizabeth II.

Queen Elizabeth National Park is known for its wildlife, including Cape buffaloes, hippopotami, crocodiles, elephants, leopards, lions, and chimpanzees. It is home to 95 mammal species and over 500 species of birds. The area around Ishasha in Rukungiri District is famous for its tree-climbing lions, whose males sport black manes. Poachers killed six elephants in the park in 2015, triggering both anger and frustration within the Ugandan conservation community.

The park is also famous for its volcanic features, including volcanic cones and deep craters, many with crater lakes, such as the Katwe craters, from which salt is extracted.

Services in the park include a telecenter run by Conservation Through Public Health and the Uganda Wildlife Authority, neighboring the Queen's Pavilion, park lodges, game and scenic drives, and boat launches.

Queen Elizabeth National Park, tree climbing lions, Uganda

A remarkable and unforgettable experience from Ishasha Wilderness Camp in QENP in Uganda (Ishasha section) where the lions climb trees!

Uganda | Queen Elizabeth National Park - Ishasha Sector

As my tour guide mentioned going on a safari is like visiting a friend that you have informed of your arrival so chances are you might not meet your friend at home. I had hoped to see the tree climbing lions on this visit but two things i believe had an effect of this ever happening pure chance and the fact that a few days before my visit some lions had been found dead believed to have been poisoned because they hunted cattle and others were electrocuted by a fence

here is the article on that


Regardless of this I still got to see some wildlife so join me on this episode

Lion cub in the tree - Queen Elizabeth National Park - Ishasha sector - Uganda 4K

Would you like to spot lions in trees? Then Uganda is a great destination.

Lions sitting in trees is a rare sight that can only be seen in a few places in the world. That while lions are known for not like climbing trees. In the Queen Elizabeth National Park you can look for lions that do just that. More specifically, mainly in the Ishasha sector. The reason the lions do this is probably to avoid the annoying flies and to be able to enjoy a cooling breeze that cannot be felt on the earth.
