Within the northeast part of the park is the Kyambura Gorge, home to lions, leopards, African finfoot plus the black bee eaters. Within the Kikorondo area, the plains give way to the impressive cones of died out volcanoes, and a number of these are filled with gorgeous crater lakes. Enjoy a boat ride along the Kazinga channel a natural water channel that links Lake Edward and Lake George. The shallows of this channel are filled with thousands of hippopotami, several buffaloes, elephants as well as multitudes of birds that feed on fish.
