Kampala to Queen Elizabeth National Park

Your friendly guide will collect you from your hotel and set off on an enchanting journey southwest from Kampala toward the majestic Queen Elizabeth National Park. The roughly eight-hour drive is far from ordinary—each mile reveals Uganda’s vibrant countryside: rolling green hills, patchwork farms, and colorful village life that seem to unfurl like a storybook. As evening falls and you near the park, keep your eyes peeled—wildlife often appears along the roadside: elephants moving ponderously, Uganda kobs bounding in herds, and waterbucks grazing in the golden light.

Arrive at your lodge to inhale the calm of the wilderness, then settle in for a delicious dinner showcasing local flavors. End the day with a cozy overnight stay as the gentle sounds of the bush serenade you to sleep—an inviting prelude to the adventures awaiting tomorrow.

Game Drive and Boat Cruise

Awaken to the tantalizing aroma of a freshly prepared breakfast, fueling your excitement for a day of wildlife thrills. Head out on a game drive across the iconic Kasenyi plains, where elephants, Cape buffaloes, and Uganda kobs roam—and with luck you may glimpse a leopard lounging in the shade. Birdwatchers will delight: over 600 species fill the skies with color and song.

After a hearty lunch at your lodge, set off on a captivating cruise along the 42 km Kazinga Channel linking Lake George and Lake Edward. Watch hippos bobbing, buffalo herds grazing the shore, Nile crocodiles basking, and rare African skimmers skimming the water. As the sun sinks, enjoy a sundowner by a crater lake or return to your lodge to relax and swap stories of the day’s wonders.
