Game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park

Enjoy early breakfast, and then head out for a morning game drive. The 6:30 am game drive is the best time to spot wildlife as animals are most active in the cool morning hours.

During the drive, you will search for elephants, buffaloes, lions, leopards, waterbucks, Uganda kobs, warthogs, and many other species.

After lunch, you will enjoy a relaxing boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel. This channel is famous for its high concentration of hippos, offering an unforgettable wildlife experience. You will also see crocodiles, bathing elephants, buffaloes, and a wide variety of bird species that gather along the water’s edge. The boat safari is one of the highlights of the tour.
