Fascinating Uganda: Elizabeth National Parc

---

Kasese
Queen Elisabeth National Parc lies in the south of Uganda. It is surrounded by plantages with banana's, coffee, papaya, mango, vanille, cacao, avocado, sorghum, cassave and papyrus. Inside the parc Kazinga channel connects Lake George with Lake Edward. It is full of life. We see buffalo's, wathogs (pumba in the Walt Disney movie "King of the Lions"), hippo's, nile crocodiles, Uganda kob (a kind of antilope) and a lot of birds like kingfishers, hamerkop, saddlebilled stork, spurwinged plover, blackheaded heron and the great white pelican. It is a big spectacle, specially when the kingfishers steal the fishes the cormorants just catched, while African fish eagles and lap faced vultures overview the show. Later we see our first elephants. It is around the beautiful crater lakes at a height of about 3000 meter and exactly on the equator. It is as if we are in prehistorical times. It feels like we are part of a movie (A tsjech movie "Cesta do praveku", yourney to prehistory).
During another gamedrive we see waterbok's, an hyena and our first treeclimbing lion. Our driver is so enthusiastic that he climbs out of the car to take a picture. We are in a shock, because the lion is only at 10 meters distance and not habituated to humans. He roars and we think he is going to attack, but then he turns his back to us and walks into the savannah. Maybe he had eaten allready. Luckily we sleep safely in a lodge, the beautiful Simba Safari Lodge which overviews the savannah.
