Uganda Parks
Didn't see too many birds, but saw a lot of everything else: giraffes, hippos, zebras, elephants, etc.
I have visted this park twice, once as a self drive, and once with a private tour. Both times I have been impressed with the park. While the birding may not measure up to some other parks, there was a great all round interest in this park, and we never travelled more than 10 minutes without something of interest.

A huge park, very diverse, very few tourists. Something for everyone here. It's very beautiful. The only problem is that humans "thinned out" a lot of the wildlife through appalling slaughter some years ago, and the populations are recovering only very slowly.
Queen Elizabeth National Park is a must to add to your bucket list.
The wildlife was great, though no lions were spotted. That was a big disappointment for me. The weather was cooperative, and the accommodations were good at the Mweya Safari Lodge.
The guide was great. It was a guy named Ham. He was extremely friendly, and we had many deep life talks. He became more of a friend than a guide. It's pretty great when you get a hug goodbye from somebody that only shook hands with the rest of the group.
Needless to say, Queen Elizabeth National Park hasn't seen the last of me.
Parts of the park are beautiful, although the animals do not match the Mara there are still lots to see and enjoy. Failed as in Lake Manyara Tanzania to see the famous tree climbing lions.

The wildlife here was in lower numbers than many other parks I visited on this trip and in Tanzania. The river cruise did have some good birding opportunities. The daytime game drives didn't do as well we did see Ugandan Kob, Elephants, and Waterbucks there was a very brief lion sighting. Perhaps I was simply spoiled by having better luck on previous game drives. We spent the better part of 3 days here and I would have gladly traded one of those days in for an additional day in Kibale or Bwindi.

Compared to other African parks, it is not impressive.

Very dry, quite flat not so exciting National Park. Unfortunately very limited wildlife sightings.

Had a major highway running along the park. Not a large variety of wildlife in our area. Was underwhelming again.

They started a burn the day we got there so it was smokey and there weren't a lot of animals around.
