Uganda’s busiest safari destination, QENP makes for a convenient stopover en route between Kibale and Bwindi Impenetrable national park. The parks most popular attraction is scenic boat trip that runs from the Mweya Peninsular along the Kazinga channel past large herds of elephants, buffalo and hippo. But there are plenty of other potential highlights: Game drive on the Kasenyi Plains; chimp tracking at Kyambura Goerge (inside the park) or Kalinzu Eco-tourism Project (outside it); birding and monkey viewing in Maramagambo Forest; exploring the Katwe or Bunyaruguru Crater Lakes; and last but not least-heading off in search of the legendary tree-climbing lions that inhabit the remote Ishasha Plains.
Bounded by Lake Edward to the north, the Ishasha River (also the Congolese boarder) to the west, and the Ntungwe River to the east, Ishasha ranks among the most alluring game-viewing areas anywhere in the country. It supports population if tree-climbing lions that comprised of 40 individuals a white back,bubt it’s said to have halved in number in recent years. The grassy plains of Ishasha also support large herds of buffalo, kob and topi. Smaller family groups of waterbucks, and the likes of elephants, warthogs and various monkeys. Ishasha retains a relatively untrammeled wilderness character, one of the best appreciated by spending a night or two within the sector, or failing that one of the flurry of lodges constructed a short distance outside it, however, those intent on seeing lions up trees, which most often happens in the heat of the day, could think about visiting as a (long) day trip from one of the lodges as a diversion en route between other sectors of QENP and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
