Het Queen Elizabeth National Park in het westen van Oeganda is het meest bezochte park van het land en beslaat 1.978 vierkante kilometer aan savanne, moerasgebied en bossen langs het Kazinga-kanaal. Het park is vooral bekend om de leeuwen die in de regio Ishasha in het zuiden in bomen klimmen – een zeldzaam gedrag dat alleen ook bij de leeuwen in Manyara in Tanzania voorkomt – en om de uitzonderlijke boottochten op het Kazinga-kanaal, waar men nijlpaarden, krokodillen en meer dan 600 vogelsoorten kan zien.
