Worth agreeing on before you meet

Respect Wildlife Distance

Never approach wildlife on foot. Maintain safe distances during game drives, as your guide knows the limits. Hippos, buffalo, and elephants are responsible for more human deaths in Africa than any predator. The animals are wild, not attractions.

Conservation Context

Queen Elizabeth NP sits in a region of complex human-wildlife conflict. Communities around the park face crop raiding by elephants and livestock predation by lions. Revenue sharing from tourism helps, but the balance is delicate. Your visit supports this conservation effort.

Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Queen Elizabeth National Park travel guide.
