Best Luxury Accommodations in Queen Elizabeth National Park – Enjoy the royal treatment at luxury accommodations in Queen Elizabeth National Park, one of the top tourist destinations in Uganda.
The park is home to many wild animals including climbing lions, elephants, herds of buffaloes, crocodiles, birds, leopards, primates, and antelopes.
From your booked lodge, you can sometimes see these animals right from your room because many lodges are built close to the park.
Some lodges go the extra mile by offering activities such as guided nature walks, where you explore parts of the jungle on foot. You can also enjoy game drives in a 4×4 safari vehicle with a roof to protect you from the sun or rain. Bird watching is popular, especially among those who love peaceful places.
You can take pictures of birds and nature, but remember to turn off the camera flash, as birds are sensitive to light.
