Queen Elizabeth National Park
Renamed after the Queen Elizabeth II of England, the park is deserving of its royal status. The Park as it is surrounded by the beautiful features of the western arm of the East African Rift Valley.

Kidepo National Park
The only debate to have about this park is whether it looks more beautiful at night or during day. Kidepo National Park is everything you expect when you think of a safari; and then some.
You are bound to sight an animal every after a couple of foot steps; from lions, buffaloes to zebras and panthers – which can only be found in Kidepo while in Uganda.
The scenery in the park is one of a kind as it is flat terrain surrounded by scenic highlands. At night, the sky is littered with so many stars that it feels like they are calling out for you to touch one!
The park is tucked away in Karamoja in North Eastern Uganda, with the nearest major town (Gulu) over 200 km away, Kidepo truly is a getaway.
