The park was recently designated by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve. Queen Elizabeth national park is special because of its beautiful landscape and collection of wildlife. The creation of the East African Rift Valley led to secondary faulting which created gorges, crater lakes, swamps, Salt Lake, valleys and other remarkable features that make the park a natural wonder for nature lovers.

Queen Elizabeth National Park has leopards, Lions, crocodiles, elephants, buffaloes, warthogs, hartebeests, oribis, hippos and several other creatures. A key attraction in the park are the rare tree climbing lions of Ishasha. Queen Elizabeth has more tree climbing lions than anywhere else. It is also blessed with the unique Kyambura. The Kyambura Gorge hides an underground forest which is rich in biodiversity. It is a favorite place for some park animals, birds and primates especially during the driest part of the year. Chimpanzee trekking in Kyambura Gorge will take you right into the gorge to discover an ancient forest teeming with life and rare plant species.
