After an early breakfast you will head out for a long morning’s game drive returning for lunch.

You head towards the Kasenyi Track which is one of the best game-viewing areas in Queen Elizabeth National Park and renowned for its rutting herds of Ugandan Kob. Common mammals to be seen include herds of defassa waterbuck, savannah buffalo, elephant, warthog and lion.

You will return to the lodge for a well deserved lunch. Here you can enjoy the lodge swimming pool.

After a restful afternoon you head to the Kazinga Channel for an evening boat cruise. 40km’s in length, the Kazinga Channel connects Lake George to Lake Edward. It’s the park’s prime wildlife location attracting large numbers of birds, mammals and reptiles annually. It acts as a migrant trap for birds journeying along the Albertine Rift.

Here you have the chance to see a wide variety of water-related species. It is also home to some of the largest concentration of hippopotamus populations in the world. Here they spend most of the daylight hours in the water emerging frequently to bask on the sandy mud-banks and on occasion to feed. If you are lucky elephant herds may make their way to the Channel for their evening refreshments. This sometimes consists of splendid cooling displays. Several reptiles also are seen along the banks of the river, including huge Nile Crocodiles and Nile Monitor Lizards.

You return in the late afternoon, and transfer to our lodge. As dusk falls, we prepare for dinner and a good night’s rest.

Overnight: Mweya Safari Lodge (B/L/D).
