Originally Kazinga National Park with the Kazinga channel connecting the Lakes; Edward in the south and George in the north - it was renamed QENP after Queen Elizabeth visited Uganda in 1954. It's the most popular savanna in Uganda in part due to the opportunity to spot the elusive tree-climbing lions in Ishasha. QENP is home to over 200 lions as the park is a conservation unit for the beasts.
The Kazinga channel lends itself to some of the best water-based safari experiences. Lone male buffalo hiding out from predators, herds of Elephants taking a bath, hippos, birds, crocs and monitor lizards are just a few that are often found on its banks.
