Queen Elizabeth National Park is located in western Uganda between Lake George and Lake Edward. It is one of Uganda’s most diverse wildlife destinations, well known for its open savannah plains, tree-climbing lions, rich birdlife, and the famous Kazinga Channel. This 3-day safari is designed to give travelers a rewarding wildlife experience in a short time.
Day 1: Transfer to Queen Elizabeth National Park & Evening Game Drive
The safari starts with a scenic road transfer through Uganda’s countryside, passing local communities and crater lake regions. Upon arrival in the park, you proceed for an evening game drive in the Kasenyi Plains.
During the drive, expect to see elephants, buffaloes, antelopes, warthogs, and predators such as lions and leopards. Enjoy beautiful sunset views across the savannah.
Day 2: Morning Game Drive & Kazinga Channel Boat Cruise
Begin the day with an early morning game drive, the best time to spot active wildlife. You may encounter large herds of Uganda kobs, elephants, buffaloes, hyenas, and occasionally lions.
Later, enjoy a boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, one of the park’s top highlights. The cruise offers close sightings of hippos, Nile crocodiles, elephants along the shores, and a wide variety of bird species.
Day 3: Optional Chimpanzee Tracking & Return
After breakfast, you may choose to join an optional chimpanzee tracking activity in Kyambura Gorge, a scenic forested valley within the park.
