There are ten kinds of primates, like chimpanzees, over 600 kinds of birds, and big animals like elephants and lions. You will take a break for lunch during your journey and then continue into the pretty Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Day 2

Morning Game Drive and Afternoon along Kazinga Channel

Morning Game Drive and Afternoon along Kazinga Channel

Wake up early and eat your breakfast. Go on a morning drive in the Kasenyi plains and search for Cape buffalos, groups of elephants, and lions. Leopards might be difficult to find, but keep an eye out for them. Go back to where you are staying to take a break and have some food. After you eat lunch, you will take a two-hour boat ride on the Kazinga Channel. This channel connects Lakes George and Edward. While you are on the trip, you will be amazed by the wildlife you see, such as big hippos, elephants, and crocodiles. You will also see lots of different kinds of birds by the water's edge. After the boat ride, we have two options. We can go back to the lodge and rest, or we can go on another game drive until around 6:30 or 7pm.

Day 3

Ishasha Game Drive and Transfer to Bwindi

Ishasha Game Drive and Transfer to Bwindi

Wake up early and go on one final game drive in the Kasenyi plains. Keep an eye out for Cape buffalos, groups of elephants, lions, and leopards (although they may be difficult to see) and more. Go back to the lodge and check out. Then, go to the Ishasha sector to find lions that climb trees. There is a 70% chance of seeing these lions, but sometimes it can be difficult to find them, especially when they are searching for food in the tall grass. If you happen to see them, it is a beautiful and unforgettable view. After Ishasha, we will go to the place where we will stay near Bwindi National Park (Ruhija sector). We will arrive there in the evening at 6pm. #If you want, you can choose to go chimp tracking (Kyambura) instead of going on a sunrise game drive. Please remember that you must get permission to track chimps before the actual date.

These hills can go as high as 2,200 to 2,478 meters. However, the real beauty of the lake lies in its 29 islands, which come in different shapes and sizes.
