3-Day Queen Elizabeth National Park Safari

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Kampala. You will head west toward the shadows of the Rwenzori Mountains.

The Scenic Route to Fort Portal
First, travel through lush tea plantations and rolling hills. Afterward, enjoy a traditional lunch in Fort Portal. This town is widely known as Uganda’s tourism capital.

Arrival and Evening Relaxation
Next, you will reach the park in the late afternoon. Check into your lodge and enjoy a “sundowner” as the sun dips below the horizon. The savannah transforms under hues of gold and violet. Therefore, it is the perfect time to relax before the excitement begins.

This is the heart of your African safari experience. We start early because wildlife is most active at dawn.

The Sunrise Game Drive
Set out onto the Kasenyi Plains. This area is prime territory for lions, leopards, and towering African elephants. Furthermore, our expert guides use local tracking knowledge to find apex predators. You will see nature in its rawest form.

The Kazinga Channel Boat Cruise
In the afternoon, we take to the water. This 40-kilometer natural channel connects Lake Edward and Lake George. Notably, it offers the highest concentration of hippos in the world. You’ll also spot Nile crocodiles and herds of buffalo cooling off at the water’s edge. As a result, this is a photographer’s paradise.

Before concluding your safari, we explore the intersection of nature and human history.

The Katwe Salt Lake Encounter
Visit the historic salt works. Here, locals have harvested salt using traditional methods since the 16th century. It is a powerful look at Ugandan heritage.

The Final Journey Home
Finally, enjoy a short morning game drive as we exit. Keep an eye out for the elegant Ugandan Kob. We then head back toward Kampala. Along the way, you can stop for local crafts. You will arrive in the evening with memories that last a lifetime.
