Queen Elizabeth National Park is Uganda’s most popular and diverse wildlife reserve. It’s home to over 95 mammal species including elephants, lions, buffalo, and hippos—plus more than 600 bird species. The park is famous for its tree-climbing lions in the Ishasha Sector and the wildlife-rich Kazinga Channel. And on the other hand Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the last remaining strongholds of the endangered mountain gorilla. Trekking through its misty jungles to spend an hour with a gorilla family is one of the most powerful wildlife experiences on earth.
