Queen Elizabeth South forms the southern region of the famous Queen Elizabeth National Park. Encompassing a variety of landscapes ranging from savannah to lush forests to wetlands and bush land, the park is home to 96 species of mammals including hippos, lions, leopards, elephants, and chimps. With less vegetation than the Northern Mweya sector, the South is covered with open savannah land, making it easier to spot the wildlife which roams these plains. The Ishasha sector is known for its tree-climbing lions and indeed you could actually spot a majestic lioness snoozing the afternoon away on the branch of a fig tree. A unique feature of the males here is that they have black manes, a rare sight. The Kalinzu Forest on the south-eastern corner of the park is a great spot for chimpanzee-tracking, a great opportunity to see these intelligent mammals up close, while the southwest corner has the Lake Katwe Salt Works, a salt mining site in a local village with an interesting history.
