A 3-day Queen Elizabeth Wildlife Safari in Uganda offers a great opportunity to explore Queen Elizabeth National Park, known for its diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes. The safari typically includes game drives, a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel, and potentially chimpanzee trekking in Kyambura Gorge.
Day 1: Transfer to Queen Elizabeth National Park
Breakfast for day one will be provided at the hotel or your place of residence, followed by a meet, greet, and briefing on the 3-day Queen Elizabeth Tour by our driver. There will be a number of stopovers, including at the Uganda Equator along Masaka road. Here you will be able to stand in both the northern and southern hemispheres and also experiment with how water swirls in different directions when placed in the northern and southern hemispheres. Take photos and even buy some of the beautiful souvenirs. Head straight to the lodge.
Day 2: Morning Game Drive and Boat Cruise
Start the day with early game drives that expose us to diverse animals, including the Big Five—elephants, buffalo, big cats- lions, leopards, and rhinos. More times in the evening, warthogs, hunchbacked carnivals like hyenas are spotted along the circuits as we drive along, and many more species that are residents of this park. There is a rich birdlife, especially our version of storks in the wetland spots, as we reach the flamingoes in the salt lakes at Kasenyi.
Enjoy a boat cruise on the famous Kazinga Channel, a 36km channel linking Lake George and Lake Edward. Here you’ll see land and water adapted hippos yawning, the National Geographic Society killing machine, the Nile crocodile, gaping along the banks, and the savannah version of pigs, the warthog-Pumba is a hallmark sign in this animal home. With your binoculars along the peninsula, you’ll have a magnificent view of birds and animals like the ever-playing African elephants in the water.
Day 3: Chimpanzee Tracking and Transfer to Entebbe International Airport
This morning, you’ll go on a chimpanzee trek in Kalinzu Forest. Enjoy the walk through the forest and the fascinating meeting with the chimpanzees. After the trek, embark on the drive back to Kampala with a stopover at the equator and lunch in Masaka. Drive back through to Kampala as we have reached the end of the 3-day Queen Elizabeth wildlife safari tour in Uganda. Arrive in Kampala or Entebbe in the evening.
