Queen Elizabeth National Park, almost 2,000 sq. km, is bordered to the North by the Rwenzori mountains and to the West by Lake Edward, and is divided in two sectors, the North and the South. It used to be one of the most beautiful and richest parks in East Africa. Unfortunately, like in other Ugandan parks, most of the game was decimated by retreating troops during the civil wars. The beauty remains though, with sprawling cacti, savannah, forests, rivers and lakes. Now that the country is at peace, the game is slowly recovering from the onslaught and the park steadily regaining its past grandeur.
