I went to Murchison Falls this year and saw all of those animals apart from zebras, monkeys, chimpanzees. There were lots of baboon on the side of the rode though. Cheetahs and lions are rare to see but we saw them both.

Queen elizebeth national park has lions, Elephants, Hippo, Monkeys, Chimpanzees.

There has been a rumor going on about the presence of Zebras in Murchison falls and I have not been lucky to see any.

For Zebras visit Lake Mburo national park. You will see lots of them and a number of Antelopes + Black and white colubus monkeys.

Murchison falls has the biggest number of wildlife in Uganda. You may have the chance of seeing almost three quaters of wildlife that exists in Uganda.

In Murchison Falls National Park rest assured you will see elephants, giraffes, lots of hippos, and chimps in Kaniyo Pabidi. You are also likely to see the lions but this shall depend on the game trails you traverse but its not guaranteed as their movements are not coordinated.
You have higher chances of seeing lions than seeing cheetahs. They are pretty light animals and are constantly fleeing from lions whose numbers seem to be increasing daily. So it will be by chance to see a cheetah in Murchison Falls National Park .

Zebras are only found in Lake Mburo National Park and Kidepo Valley National Park.

Just like Murchison, expect to see the elephants and hippos in Queen Elizabeth National Park . There are no giraffs in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Chimpanzees are there in the breathtaking Kyambura Game Reserve but seeing them is not guaranteed. They are light animals and their movements are not coordinated. You are also likely to see lions especially in the remote Ishasha section which mainly found to be climbing trees hence the name tree-climbing lions.
Chances of seeing a cheetah are minimal though they are there. No Zebras of course.
