These include sightings of Elephants, huge Buffaloes, Lions, Hyenas, etc. Watching these creatures from a near distance is what will give you the adrenaline rush.

Chimpanzee Trekking

In the Northern part of Queen Elizabeth National Park is situated the Kyambura George, also known as the Valley of Apes. This place consists of several chimpanzees that you can come across while trekking. These chimpanzees are used to having humans around; hence your presence will not stop them from carrying on with their activities. Trekking across this place not only gives you ape sightings but also takes you through lush savannah grasslands, flowing rivers and creeks.
