Explosion Crater Trail
Queen Elizabeth National Park boasts some incredible scenery and provides a fascinating experience, especially for those with an interest or passion for geography and geology.
Some 7000 years ago violent geological activity occurred here seeing the eruption of several craters and the formation of 7 major crater lakes including the three lakes we now know as Lake Albert, Lake George and Lake Edward.
We take you on a three-hour drive to explore some of these explosion craters and lakes, including those at Katwe, and learn all about the Albertine Rift Valley and more about the well over thirty lakes that surround the Kazinga Channel.
The landscape is breathtaking – big scale beauty and rift activity right before your eyes.
After the drive we enjoy a picnic lunch and if you would like, a cruise down the Kazinga Channel – renowned for having one of Africa’s largest population of hippos and one of the highlights of visiting Uganda.
