Kazinga Channel in Uganda is a wide, 32-kilometre (20 mi) long natural channel that links Lake Edward and Lake George, which are part of the African Great Lakes system.

Kazinga Channel is located in South Western Uganda near Katunguru area within the famous Queen Elizabeth National Park.

The channel is a dominant feature of Queen Elizabeth National Park. It attracts a varied range of animals and birds, boasting one of the world’s largest concentration of hippos and numerous Nile crocodiles.

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.
