Game drive and boat cruise

Wake up to the melodies of some of the bird species in the park, singing you to your early breakfast at your lodge. Your driver guide will take you on a game drive adventure in the Kasenyi plains of the park. Expect to encounter animals like lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, warthogs, antelopes, waterbucks, etc. From morning to noon, you will explore these plains, encountering various animals, and then return to the lodge for lunch.
Head to the Katungulu landing site at Kazinga Channel in the afternoon to begin your boat cruise experience. Witness the largest population of hippos in the country as you sail along their large schools, as the crocodiles look on from the banks of the channel. Not far from them, you can spot other animals like elephants, antelopes, and buffaloes as they quench their thirst. Watch the sun as it sets while shining its final rays on the water, crafting a scenic view from the movies. Head to the lodge for dinner and rest later.

Chimpanzee trekking in Kalinzu Forest and departure

Edging closer to the end of your trip, drive to Kalinzu Forest at the briefing center for a pre-trek briefing after breakfast. Kalinzu Forest is one of those few chimpanzee habitats in the country where one can have an incredible time with the chimpanzee primates. The briefing also includes grouping into groups of 8 people and allocating a ranger guide to guide on the tracking of the chimps. A few hours into the forest, the tracking will begin, and though it may sound like a piece of cake but it’s quite challenging for the unfit.
Upon encountering the chimpanzees, you will be given an hour to spend in the presence of these primates, taking pictures, and watching them as they tackle their day’s chores. Drive for lunch at your lodge and check out of your lodge in Queen Elizabeth National Park and depart.
