The boat safari along the Kazinga Channel is one of Africa's great wildlife experiences: hundreds of hippos grunting in the shallows, elephants swimming between banks, buffalo wallowing beside crocodiles, and skies busy with kingfishers and fish eagles.
It is game viewing at water level — relaxed, close and endlessly photogenic.
Plan This Experience
In the park's remote southern sector, lions do something lions aren't supposed to do: they climb giant fig trees and drape themselves over the branches to sleep away the heat.
Add crater-lake viewpoints, salt-lake flamingos and chimp tracking in the Kyambura Gorge, and Queen Elizabeth becomes a full safari in a single park.
