Kazinga Channel

The channel is a dominant feature of Queen Elizabeth National Park.

The channel attracts a varied range of animals and birds, boasting one of the world's largest concentration of hippos and numerous Nile crocodiles.

Its outflow is through the Kazinga Channel which drains into Lake Edward, with water levels fluctuating very little.

In 2005, a large number of hippos were killed in the channel as a result of an anthrax outbreak, which occurs when animals eat remnants of vegetation during the driest months, leading to the absorption of bacterial spores that can live for decades in dry soil.
