  • Day 1 Arrival And Transfer To Queen Elizabeth National Park
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Arrival And Transfer To Queen Elizabeth National Park

      Welcome to the Pearl of Africa! The airport in Entebbe will be your arrival destination. You will be welcomed by our professional tour guide and given a brief overview of the 5 days ahead. You will proceed to Queen Elizabeth National Park for an evening game drive in the park. This park is the most popular savanna park in Uganda and is ideal for viewing lions, including the Tree Climbing lions, during a Uganda Wildlife Safari. This country is renowned for its diverse habitats, which include lakes, savannah grasslands, forests, and wetlands, all of which feed the country's largest mammals. ‍ Your first day will already be full of natural wildlife as you encounter elephants, buffaloes, warthogs, and birds. Our recommendation is to arrive the day before so that you can do some sightseeing in Kampala and Entebbe before transferring to Queen Elizabeth National Park. We are happy to assist with any planning.  Premium accommodation example: Ihamba Safari Lodge Luxury accommodation example: Mweya Safari lodge

      Drive to Kyambura Forest in the morning for a chimpanzee trekking experience.

This region is home to a large population of endangered chimpanzees, the red colobus monkey (endangered) and the rare L'Hoest's monkey (vulnerable), making it an excellent location for chimpanzee trekking safaris.  In the afternoon, you will take a boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, a wide, 32-kilometer long natural channel that links Lake Edward and Lake George, and is a dominant feature of Queen Elizabeth National Park. The channel attracts a varied range of animals and birds, with one of the world's largest concentrations of hippos and numerous Nile crocodiles. At a lucky moment, some animals will be found drinking water, taking a bath or even hunting. Premium accommodation example: Kyambura Forest Camp Luxury accommodation example: Kyambura Gorge Lodge
