Return to your accommodation for a midday break and lunch. The afternoon unfolds with a captivating two-hour boat ride on the Kazinga Channel, connecting Lakes George and Edward. Marvel at the wildlife spectacle, including hippos, elephants, crocodiles, and a variety of birds along the water's edge.

Day 3

Ishasha Game Drive and Transfer to Bwindi

Ishasha Game Drive and Transfer to Bwindi

Start your day with an early game drive in Kasenyi plains, on the lookout for Cape buffalos, elephant herds, lions, and possibly elusive leopards. Return to the lodge, check out, and proceed to the Ishasha sector for a unique opportunity to spot tree-climbing lions. While there's a 70% chance of sighting them, the challenge adds to the excitement, especially when they navigate the tall grass in search of prey. The sight, if encountered, is both beautiful and unforgettable. Following Ishasha, head to your accommodation near Bwindi National Park (Ruhija sector), arriving at 6 pm. Alternatively, opt for chimp tracking in Kyambura instead of a sunrise game drive, provided you obtain permission beforehand. Plan your chimp tracking adventure for a unique and enriching experience.
