Early today possibly before your breakfast we shall head to morning game drive starting at about 7am in the Kasenyi Plains. This is the best time to see various animals such as warthogs, kobs, buffaloes, elephants, lions, leopards among others as they come out to seek a quick breakfast.

On our way to or from the afternoon boat safari on the Kazinga channel we can have a drive through the Queens Pavilion into the explosive crater field dotted with scenic beautiful dry and wet crater lakes.

The boat safari is a major highlight that offers amazing views of lots of wildlife as various animals and birds come down to the channel to have a drink and bathe in the hot afternoons. Watch out for elephant herds, buffalos in the hundreds, crocodiles, hippos, beautiful birds and sometimes lions and leopards can be sighted.

Optional Activity

For those who love a bit of adventure a trip to the magnificent Kyambura gorge is an alternative to the boat safari.

Kyambura Gorge Nature walk

The spectacular Kyambura Gorge, also called the “Valley of Apes”, is located in the eastern corner of Queen Elizabeth. The landscape is among the most impressive you will find in Uganda. Enter the Gorge and you will be marveled by the verdant, rich Tropical Rainforest right close to the Equator crossing. You can make a wonderful hike here looking for chimpanzees. Chances of seeing chimps are 50% and that is why we rather call it a nature walk. Don’t miss it; the gorge is simply amazing!
