Experience Africa’s Wildlife Paradise on the Kazinga Channel

Looking for an unforgettable safari in Uganda? Look no further than the Kazinga Channel boat cruise—one of the most scenic and wildlife-rich experiences in East Africa.
At Safari 2 Gorilla Tours, we offer expertly guided boat safaris that bring you face-to-face with nature’s raw beauty in  Queen Elizabeth National Park.

What Makes the Kazinga Channel Unique?

The Kazinga Channel is a natural waterway that links Lake George to Lake Edward, stretching about 32 kilometers through the heart of Queen Elizabeth National Park. What makes it a must-visit is the incredible density of wildlife that gathers along its banks. It’s not unusual to see herds of elephants, buffaloes, and hundreds of hippos cooling off in the water.

Wildlife and Birdwatching Paradise

On a typical boat cruise, you’ll see:

• Hippos in massive pods, often yawning or play-fighting
• Nile crocodiles basking on the riverbanks
• African elephants coming to drink and bathe
• Buffalo herds grazing nearby
• An incredible diversity of birds, including African fish eagles, kingfishers, cormorants, and the elusive shoebill stork

Whether you’re a seasoned birdwatcher or a first-time visitor, the Kazinga Channel is one of the best places in Africa to observe wildlife up close.

Best Time to Go

While the Kazinga Channel is rewarding all year round, the dry seasons (June–August and December–February) offer the best visibility as animals congregate around the water sources.
