The variety of habitats includes grassland savannah, forests, wetlands and lakes. This provides the setting for an extensive range of large mammals and primates. Four of the Big five are present (rhino are absent) and chimp tracking is available.

Queen Elizabeth National Park hosts 619 bird species, the second highest of any park in Africa – the 6th highest of any parkworld-wide. This remarkable number is enabled by the park’s diverse habitats. QENP contains 95 species of mammal – more than any other park in Uganda. Hippos are efficient lawn mowers. They prefer to graze short grass, each animal eating about 40kg each night.
