Lion Tracking in Queen Elizabeth Park
Discover Lion Tracking in Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth Park with Lifetime Experience Safaris
If you’re looking for an adventure that brings you close to Uganda’s iconic predators, then Lion Tracking Research in Queen Elizabeth Park is a perfect choice. This activity offers a one-of-a-kind chance to observe lions and leopards, thanks to the Uganda Carnivore Program and their partnership with the Uganda Wildlife Authority.
Join researchers on the Kasenyi Plains as they monitor these remarkable animals, giving you insights into the behavior and movements of collared lions and leopards. This intimate and educational experience lets you track these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Researchers use radio collars to track the lions’ movements, allowing them to share these amazing encounters with you. We keep the number of participants small, making this experience feel extra special. For just 150 USD (Jan 2025), you’ll have the unique opportunity to not only witness these magnificent animals but also contribute to their conservation.

What to Expect During Lion Tracking in Queen Elizabeth Park
Lion Tracking Research happens twice daily—early in the morning and late in the afternoon—and each session runs between 1 to 3 hours. During this time, you’ll ride alongside seasoned researchers who will share in-depth knowledge about the local lion population, their movements, and the conservation challenges they face. You’ll gain 
an understanding that goes beyond what a regular game drive can offer.
Book your safari with Lifetime Experience Safaris, and we’ll reserve your spot in this exclusive activity. However, since spaces fill up fast, we recommend booking early. You can also combine your lion-tracking adventure with other exciting activities in Queen Elizabeth Park, such as spotting the Tree-climbing lions in Ishasha or enjoying a game drive on the Kasenyi Plains.
Make a Difference – Join the Effort to Protect Lions
Taking part in the Lion Tracking Research isn’t just about the thrill of spotting lions—your participation directly supports important conservation efforts. You’ll be helping the Uganda Carnivore Program protect these majestic animals, contributing to the future of both lions and leopards in the park.
