the river

While it might sound like something Sheldon from Big Bang Theory would say, the name Kazinga is used for a channel of flowing freshwater that connects and drains Lake George into Lake Edward. It is located in the northern section of Queen Elizabeth National Park. It is over 30 kilometres long. Several of the lodges in the national park and just outside it are alongside this waterway, including the Queen Elizabeth Bush Lodge and the Mweya Safari Lodge.  There are several different places from where cruises depart, including from the Bush Lodge/Community, and further down river at the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) centre/Mweya Lodge.
