Day 3

Queen Elizabeth

Day 3 Depart at 06:00 for a morning game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park aiming to catch the lions hunting in the morning. Lions usually hunt as the day dawns since the temperatures are cooler. You can also expect to see the Uganda kobs, elephants, buffalos, warthogs, leopards, and waterbucks. After the game drive, have lunch then enjoy a boat cruise on Kazinga channel which connects Lake Edward and Lake George. Expect to see large numbers of buffalos and hippos.

Begin the day with breakfast, and then embark on a drive to Kyambura Gorge for a primate walk expecting to see chimpanzees, vervet monkey, olive baboon, and black and white Columbus monkey. Continue south on a game drive to Ishasha and proceed to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Ishasha is most famous for its tree-climbing lions.

After breakfast, prepare for the gorilla tracking adventure that begins at 08:00. with a briefing at the information center by the Uganda Wildlife Authority staff.
