Your adventure begins with an early morning departure from Kampala or Entebbe, heading west through Uganda’s beautiful countryside. Enjoy scenic views of rolling hills, tea plantations, and traditional villages along the way and we enjoy our lunch en route.
We will arrive and check in at your lodge in Queen Elizabeth National Park in time and have some rest and refreshments. Later in the afternoon, we head out for our first game drive in the Kasenyi Plains, where herds of Ugandan kob, buffalo, and elephants roam freely. Keep your eyes out for predators such as lions and leopards blending into the savannah.

Game Drive & Kazinga Channel Boat Safari

Rise early for a morning game drive, the best time to catch predators on the move and wildlife at its most active. Explore the diverse ecosystems of the park—from savannah grasslands to crater lakes.

After lunch, head to Mweya Peninsula for a boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, a wildlife-packed waterway that connects Lake Edward and Lake George. Watch as hippos wallow, elephants drink, and crocodiles sunbathe along the shores. The birdlife is spectacular—featuring everything from African fish eagles to kingfishers and pelicans.
Return to your lodge for dinner and a peaceful night surrounded by nature.
