The Kazinga Channel is a wildlife-rich waterway linking Lake Edward and Lake George, famous for dense hippo populations, crocodiles, elephants, buffalo, and exceptional birdlife.
The Kazinga Channel is one of Uganda’s most rewarding boat-safari experiences. This natural channel connects Lake Edward and Lake George and attracts large concentrations of hippos, crocodiles, buffalo, elephants, and waterbirds. The boat cruise provides close-range wildlife viewing and excellent photographic opportunities, especially for clients who have only experienced wildlife from vehicles. It is a signature Queen Elizabeth National Park activity and should be treated as a core experience in Uganda scheduled departures. Operationally, it requires advance timing and coordination with game-drive schedules.
