But like everyone else I find it hard to decide which area I love the most and the truth is The Kazinga Channel tends to tip the scales. This is a wide, 32km long natural channel that links Lake Edward and Lake George, and a dominant feature of Queen Elizabeth National Park. The channel is like the high street of the park attracting a varied range of animals and birds (both perennial and migratory bird species), with one of the world’s largest concentration of hippos and numerous Nile crocodiles.<br />The Kazinga Channel boat trip is probably the most popular activity in the QENP and rightly so. The boats leave the landing stage four times a day for a trip that lasts about two hours. Buffalo, hippo and (in the afternoons at least) elephant are virtually guaranteed along with a wealth of bird life.<br />Thank God I still have more chapters from this jungle paradise.<br /><br /><br />Samwel Odhiambo<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1342269526129417231-2918459071166854150?l=destinationjungle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Samwel Odhiambohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12551081802192244905noreply@blogger.com0
