Game drive & a boat cruise in Queen Elizabeth National Park

Game drive & a boat cruise in Queen Elizabeth National Park

Have a game drive in the northern part of the park on the Kasenyi Track in search of lions, elephants, and solitary buffalo. This is the best time for opportunities to view the cats in action, owing to the vast population of Uganda Kobs. We have an excellent chance to view just about every animal here at very close range. Return to the lodge for your breakfast before heading out for a launch trip along the Kazinga Channel. This allows you to view wildlife up close: hippos huff and spray at a mere feet away from the boat, buffalo linger in the shallows. The shores of the channel are also home to an array of birds, including pink-backed pelicans, pied and malachite kingfishers, saddle-billed storks, and many others.

Day 6

Gorilla trekking in Bwindi impenetrable National Park

Gorilla trekking in Bwindi impenetrable National Park

Have an early morning breakfast, and after proceed to the park headquarters to have a briefing about the dos and don’ts of gorilla trekking in Bwindi. The rangers will then accompany you to the thick rainforest to start your search for the gentle giants. Trekkers are always advised to carry their raincoats and boots because the weather there is always unpredictable. Some potters always help with the carrying of the luggage on behalf of the visitors, but at a small extra cost. It’s not always easy to predict how long gorilla tracking will take, and this also depends on the location of some families since some of them are far from the park headquarters. However, it always takes 2 to 7 hours to come into contact with them, and the rangers will always be there to guide you. Trackers are also advised to be physically fit before going for tracking. After your trek, go back to the lodge and have a late lunch(or opt for a packed lunch).
