The Crater Lakes of Queen
Mother Hyena and Baby at Queen Elizabeth National Park; Ishasa. We saw these interesting Creatures at around 6pm as they got out of the Hyena's Den to start searching for food.
A Crater lake by definition is a body of water occupying a roughly circular, steep-sided volcanic crater or caldera.
Queen Elizabeth National Park has enormous craters, curved dramatically into rolling green hills.
One of the famous Crater Lake in this park, is the Katwe salt lake where the Katwe Kabatooro community has been conducting traditional salt mining since the 16th Century. The neighboring lake Munyanyange is a bird sanctuary and a migratory location for the lesser flamingo from August to November.

Take time to Track Chimps at the Kyambura Gorge
A gorge is a narrow valley with steep, rocky walls located between hills or mountains. The term comes from the French word gorge, which means throat or neck. A gorge is often smaller than a canyon, although both words are used to describe deep, narrow valleys with a stream or river running along their bottom.
The Kyambura gorge experience is more than discovering chimpanzee’s in their natural environment. It teaches visitors about the echo systems of Kyambura gorge’s underground rain forest, including vegetation types , bird identification and behavior , and chimp and monkey ecology. The Kyambura River flows through this thick underground forest 100 meters below the Kichwamba Escarpment.
The beautiful crater lakes of the Kyambura wildlife reserve offer excellent opportunities to observe many water birds including greater and lesser flamingos and other interesting bird species.

The History of Queen Elizabeth National Park
Elegant...! The Topi Antelope at Queen Elizabeth National Park. We came to learn from our Tour guide that this is the Fastest Antelope in the Park.The area currently occupied by the Queen Elizabeth National Park was previously a grazing area for local Basongora pastoralists. When British explorers Stanley and Lugard toured the area towards the end of last century, both reported the area to have been largely depopulated as a result of cattle raiding (from the Bunyoro and Buganda kingdoms) and epidemics of rinderpest and smallpox.
The Basongora social economy could not recover from these events and with the exception of remnant villages around the two lakes, the area was almost completely depopulated. Those who did remain were forced to turn to fishing.
These events allowed the game populations to increase and vegetation to change significantly, and played an important role in determining the creation of the national park by the Protectorate administration.
In 1906, the area to the north of Lake George was declared a Game Reserve, in order to prevent what some administrators believed to be unregulated hunting by Africans and Europeans and growing pressure for development of cotton and wheat production.

By 1912, the whole of the Lake George and Ishasha areas (Lake George Game Reserve) were declared restricted areas, agricultural and fishing communities moved out to other non-affected areas and the area was largely abandoned. Further outbreaks of sleeping sickness continued up until the mid 1930s.
The National Park Ordinance was passed on 31st March 1952 and Queen Elizabeth National Park then, Kazinga National Park was legally gazetted later that year, following intense lobbying by the Chief Game Warden of that time, Bruce Kinloch, and the Governor.
As a result, the land area protected within the Lake George Game Reserve area was expanded considerably to include a large area to the east of Lake Edward and Kazinga Channel.
