Lion Tracking Research in Queen Elizabeth Park with Researchers on the Kasenyi Plains
A Unique one-of-a-kind experience tracking the Lions with the Uganda Carnivore Project
Lion Tracking Research in Queen Elizabeth Park is another way to see the Lions and Leopards in Queen Elizabeth Park, often closer than on a regular Game Drive.
The Uganda Carnivore Project researches the Lions and other predators, such as leopards, near the Kazinga Channel in the northern sector of Queen Elizabeth.
Several feelings of pride of lions have collared members, allowing the researchers to study their habits in this particular area of Queen Elizabeth Park. Individual Leopards are also collared and analyzed in this manner.
Participating in the Lion Tracking Research is like going on a game drive on Steroids; you see more and get more information that you would not get on a standard game drive.
The Lion Tracking research is a joint project of the Uganda Wildlife Authority and the Uganda Carnivore Program led by Dr. Ludwig Siefert, a renowned carnivore expert. Everyone on his team is well-trained and experienced with carnivores such as Lions and Leopards.
This is a limited participant and not a mass tourism offering but is an educational, one-of-a-kind opportunity for you to learn about carnivores such as lions and leopards. The Cost is $100 and worth every penny of it.
