Down here live thousands Lions, Leopards, Elephants, Buffaloes, water and bush bucks, and warthogs among others. Activities to encounter include the game drives, boat cruise along the Kazinga Chanel which connects Ramsar Lake Gorge with Lake Edward.
Day1: Entebbe/Kampala-Queen Elizabeth National Park
After breakfast, meet our driver/guide thereafter transfer to Queen Elizabeth national park with en-route stopover at the Uganda equator for memorable photographs and snacks and then lunch at Agip Motel in Mbarara town. Transfer to the park and spend the evening enjoying the sundowner game drive spotting for wildlife species like lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards among others. Even more thrilling is the high likelihood of seeing leopards. This would make for a relatively easy Big Five day if it weren’t for the fact that the park doesn’t have rhinos anymore following the uncontrolled poaching that befell it prior to 1990.
