About Kazinga Channel

The Kazinga Channel is a 32-kilometre natural canal linking Lakes Edward and George through the heart of Queen Elizabeth National Park, and its banks host one of the greatest concentrations of hippos in Africa, along with elephant herds, buffalo wallows and Nile crocodiles. The boat cruise along its shoreline is Uganda's essential water safari: pied kingfishers hover, fish eagles duel and African skimmers slice the wake, all at deck-rail distance.
