Uganda is one of 13 countries the Equator passes through, and the Kikorongo Equator Point in Queen Elizabeth National Park is being developed as a formal attraction with an information center and museum . For travelers, this adds a cultural and scientific stop to the traditional wildlife itinerary.
What Is Being Built
The project includes a viewing deck, an information center, and a museum. Technical support is being provided by experts from Ecuador who have experience with similar equator attractions . The site is expected to encourage longer stays in the park and create income opportunities for local communities.
Why It Matters
The Equator is not just a line on a map—it marks a zone of stable tropical climate that supports the park’s biodiversity. A visit here adds context to the safari experience.
How to Visit
The Kikorongo Equator Point is accessible by road within the park. Kazinga Wilderness Safari Camp can arrange a stop en route to or from game drives. Check with the camp for current access status as construction progresses.
