3 days Queen Elizabeth National Park

Queen Elizabeth is Uganda’s second largest national park covering 1,978 square kilometers (763 square miles).  Its fertile grounds, located at the base of the Rwenzori Mountains, and its notable water bodies, Lake Edward and Lake George, have made it the best park for wildlife safaris. The astounding game in Queen Elizabeth National Park includes: lions, warthogs, buffaloes, Uganda kobs, leopards, and water bucks to name just a few.

Day 1: Queen Elizabeth National Park

Your driver will pick you up from Kampala, Entebbe or Masaka for an early morning departure for Queen Elizabeth National Park. You will have lunch along the way. After arriving at your accommodations you will have enough time to settle in and relax. The first game drive into Queen Elizabeth National Park will begin later in the afternoon.

In the evening you will have dinner and enjoy the ambiance of your lodging.

Day 2: Queen Elizabeth

You will have breakfast at 06:30 am so that you can begin a sunrise game drive to Kasenyi Plains in Queen Elizabeth. Wildlife is most active during sunrise and sunset and you will want to take advantage of these peak viewing hours. After the morning game drive, you will drive to the Mweya Peninsula via the channel track where it is most likely to meet thirsty elephants and buffaloes crossing just few meters from your safari vehicle.

A lunch break is scheduled at the waterfront and from there you will join a boat safari on the Kazinga Channel which joins Lake George and Lake Albert.  The channel attracts a wide range of animals and birds; its banks are typically lined with hippos, buffaloes, elephants, and huge crocodiles. After a 2-hour boat safari you will begin your late afternoon safari to see the beautiful fauna and flora along the Crater/Nature drive.

Dinner will be served to you at your lodge.

Day 3: Kampala, Entebbe, or Masaka

After breakfast you will begin your final safari in the Queen Elizabeth National Park before the journey on to your return destination. You will have lunch along the way.

We hope you will have a wonderful time on the Queen Elizabeth National Park safari!
