This royal park was set up in 1952; it is situated in the Great Western Rift Valley. The park occupies an area of 1978 km² and provides a spectacular site on the rift valley floor amid lakes George and Edward.
Lake George is linked to Lake Edward by the 32 km long Kazinga channel, which slightly divides the park northern and southern sectors. To the north, Queen Elizabeth National Park is neighbored by Kibale National Park and with Kyambura Wildlife reserve to the north east. Kyambura was conserved as an illegal hunting spot and then raised to the position of Game reserve in 1965.

The park also has a number of an extraordinary 612 species of birds turning it out to be it a birders paradise.
