Queen Elizabeth National Park lies across the equator in the southwest of Uganda. It is bordered to the North by the Rwenzori mountains, to the southwest by Lake Edward and to the southeast by Lake George. The two lakes are joined by the Kazinga Channel, 33 km long. The Mbarara-Kasese road goes through the park and when crossing the Kazinga channel neatly bisects Lake Edward and Lake George. We didn't see much of the Rwenzori Mountains, often known as the 'Mountains of the Moon', although on ...
Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda hilde
I took a bus from Kampala to Fort Portal, which was about a four and a half hour drive, although I ended up sitting in it for ov** nine hours, between the waiting, the stopping and the stalling that seems to invariably accompany ev**y African journey. The scen**y on the way was magnificent; Uganda really is one of the greenest countries I have ev** seen, ev**y single patch of land sees healthy v**dant growth spring thickly from the deep red soil. The level of deforestation h**e, howev**, is v...

We say a fond farewell to Clare and Aubrey this morning, then head to Fort Portal to see the exterior of the Royal Palace and visit the tombs of the Toro Kings. The position of keeper of the tombs is hereditary, and we meet the man who is currently in charge of them. He tells us about their culture, and takes us into the tomb of the third king to show some of his artifacts.
The members of the Burungu community entertain us with singing and dancing, and a little play which our guide tr...

... to go for a pee standing up again without fear of anything else coming out<br> the other side!<br> It was however another hideously early start, with breakfast at 6am, meaning we had to have everything packed and ready <br>to leave before hand! I was very pleased that I had packed our tent up the night before!<br>Today we drove to The Queen Elizabeth national park in the south west of Uganda. We ...

... birds galore. For one thing, this was the best boat ride I have ever taken. It was like these animals were paid or something to sit down on the lake and just sit there. It seemed like the Disney World ride on the boat that only has African animals. It was like animal after animal just posing for pictures right there by the boat. All except for the hippos. There were mostly in the water and went underneath the water when we would pass. I didn’t ...

... was located on the banks of Lake Edward and were shown to our safari style tents. The accomodation was amazing and even more luxurious than the accomodation at Bwindi which would have been hard to beat. It was also nice that we had the whole of the camp to ourselves. <br><br>Following a nice long shower and chill out, Dave, Jane, Louise and I headed to the other side of the camp to watch the sunset over the soda lake which was absolutely gorgeous no doubt due to the sunny ...

Wow...Uganda is so green and the people are very friendly....the only bad thing is that it's rainy season and not a day goes by since we have been here that it hasn't rained at some point. We continued our travels through the rest of Kenya and saw our first lot of wild animals at Crater Lake which were zebra, giraffe, impala and gazelle. When we finally made it to the Lake we spotted hundreds of Flamingo's...they were a lot pinker than ...

Leaving Kigali early in the morning, you can be camping in the wild by the evening! And even though we did not get to see tree climbing lions, Queen Elisabeth is worth the drive! Julie & Guy PS 1: if you are into a real bush camping experience, aim for campsite 1 and 2 outside the lodge compound. There is absolutely nothing (except for 1 ...
