Your safari will begin with an early morning pick-up from your Kampala location, where your driver-guide will provide a brief overview of the days ahead before you set off westward towards Queen Elizabeth National Park. Along the way you will stop at the Equator crossing in Kayabwe, a great opportunity for photographs, light refreshments, and a browse through the local craft stalls. You will arrive at the park in the afternoon and check in at Simba Safari Camp in time for dinner.
After a hearty breakfast, you will head to the park headquarters for a briefing before embarking on a morning game drive through the Kasenyi Plains and the Channel Drive Circuit, two of the park's most productive wildlife corridors where elephants, buffaloes, lions, Uganda kob, and a remarkable array of bird species are frequently sighted. In the afternoon you will set out on a leisurely boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, the 40-kilometre natural waterway that links Lake Edward and Lake George, offering superb close-up encounters with hippos, Nile crocodiles, and an abundance of water birds from the comfort of the vessel.
After breakfast on your final morning, you will visit the striking Katwe Crater Lakes area, a fascinating landscape of ancient volcanic craters that offers scenic views and a glimpse into the region's geological history. On the drive back towards Kampala, you will have the opportunity to stop at the Igongo Cultural Centre, where you can explore exhibits celebrating the cultures of western Uganda. You will arrive back in Kampala in the late afternoon, bringing a memorable three-day safari to a close.
