Der Nationalpark Queen Elizabeth im Westen Ugandas ist der am häufigsten besuchte Park des Landes und erstreckt sich über 1.978 Quadratkilometer Savanne, Feuchtgebiete und Wälder entlang des Kazinga-Kanals. Er ist berühmt für die dort lebenden Löwen, die in Bäume klettern – ein seltenes Verhalten, das nur mit den Löwen im tansanischen Manyara-See geteilt wird – sowie für außergewöhnliche Bootsafaris auf dem Kazinga-Kanal, bei denen man Nilpferde, Krokodile und über 600 Vogelarten beobachten kann.
