What to See in Queen Elizabeth National Park

Tree-Climbing Lions in Ishasha

One of the park’s most famous attractions is the rare population of tree-climbing lions found in the Ishasha sector. A rugged 4x4 self-drive rental is essential to reach this area comfortably.

Boat Safari on the Kazinga Channel

Take a boat safari on the Kazinga Channel, which connects Lake Edward and Lake George. This is one of Africa’s best locations for viewing hippos, crocodiles, elephants, and exotic birds. Rent Car Rwanda can help you book a vehicle and plan an itinerary with our tour packages.

Chimpanzee Tracking in Kyambura Gorge

Also known as the “Valley of Apes,” Kyambura Gorge is one of the few places in Uganda where you can track wild chimpanzees. Accessing the trailhead requires a reliable 4x4, which you can rent directly through Rent Car Rwanda’s guided tour service.
