Queen Elizabeth National Park

Queen Elizabeth Park is Uganda’s most popular attraction. Located on an area of almost 2,000 square kilometers, the park is known for its rich biological and natural diversity, being home to hundreds of species of animals and birds.

The park was founded in 1952 and was named after the Queen in 1954 after her visit.

The territory of the park includes a variety of natural areas from desert and savannah to wetlands. There are more than 100 species of mammals, including hippos, leopards, elephants, lions, buffaloes, antelopes and ten species of primates.

The reserve is also rich in birds - it is home to more than 600 species of birds. Recently, active measures have been taken to prevent poaching in the park, which contributes to the restoration of many species.
