I still recovering from the disappointment. QUEEN ELIZABETH PARK has almost no wildlife at the moment. One pays a lot to see nothing around even if one drives for hours. Even antelopes, which are normally abundant, are rarely seen therefore spotting the lions is almost impossible. The guides and the company rep, only after your first hours of game drive, start telling that it s been years not much animals are seen in the park n the government needs to open new tracks. My guide even lied to us about the number is lions in the parks. There are many villages within the area of Queen Elizabeth hence wild animals are destroying people crops and livestock n sometimes kill people and in revenge lions have been killed decreasing the numbers in the park. I would say don't fall into the trap unless you want to waste your money and time driving around an almost wildlife less park.
The park is huge and the number of animals are insignificant comparing to the massive area of the park. Won't recommend it to anyone.

Wow, this place was not as expected. A lot less animals than expected and while the boat trip was a different way to do a safari in africa, the commentary while on the boat was a real disappointment.

The wildlife here was in lower numbers than many other parks I visited on this trip and in Tanzania. The river cruise did have some good birding opportunities. The daytime game drives didn't do as well we did see Ugandan Kob, Elephants, and Waterbucks there was a very brief lion sighting. Perhaps I was simply spoiled by having better luck on previous game drives. We spent the better part of 3 days here and I would have gladly traded one of those days in for an additional day in Kibale or Bwindi.

Compared to other African parks, it is not impressive.

Had a major highway running along the park. Not a large variety of wildlife in our area. Was underwhelming again.

They started a burn the day we got there so it was smokey and there weren't a lot of animals around.

Maybe was the season, i don't know, but we couldn't see the tree lions. It's very difficult. Also you can see hipos and elephant. Not giraffe here
