How Do I Get To Queen Elizabeth National Park From Kampala?

Queen Elizabeth National Park is one of the most beautiful places in Uganda. It is full of wild animals like elephants, lions, hippos, and many birds. If you are in Kampala and want to visit this amazing park, there are a few easy ways to get there.

1. By Car or Private Rental
The best and most flexible way to reach Queen Elizabeth National Park is by car. You can drive yourself or hire a car with a driver from Kampala. The drive takes about 6 to 7 hours. The most common route is:
Kampala – Masaka – Mbarara – Bushenyi – Mweya (in the park).
The roads are mostly good, and along the way, you can stop to see places like the Equator and beautiful Lake Mburo National Park.

2. By Bus and Taxi
If you are traveling on a budget, you can take a bus from Kampala to Kasese or Bushenyi. From there, you can use a local taxi or hire a car to take you into the park. This way is cheaper, but not as comfortable or flexible as driving yourself.

3. By Air (Charter Flights)
You can also fly from Entebbe or Kajjansi Airstrip to airstrips near the park, such as Mweya or Kasese. This is fast (about 1 hour) and gives you a great view from the sky, but it is more expensive.

Travel Tips

• Start your journey early in the morning.
