Itinerary

Day 1: Journey to Queen Elizabeth National Park

You will be picked up by a Trek Safari’s guide from your place of residence or hotel, then transferred to Queen Elizabeth National Park, which is approximately 6 hours west from Kampala via the Masaka–Mbarara Highway, and do a brief stop at the Uganda equator, where you will take plenty of pictures and grab a snack. Your next stop is for lunch in Mbarara to rejuvenate your body with a delicious meal. During your drive, you will take in the beautiful Ugandan landscape, including the long-horned Ankole cattle, the vast tea plantations in Ishaka, and savanna vegetation. Upon arrival at Queen Elizabeth, you will check in to your booked lodge, relax, and have dinner.

Day 2: Safari Game Drive and Boat Ride on Victoria Nile

After having your breakfast, head out for a game drive. This is an ideal time to begin your safari, since most animals are active in the early morning. The carnivores are usually hunting around this time, and the other animals are on guard—extremely alert so as not to become prey! If you are lucky, you will definitely be a part of this exciting action! Expect to encounter African elephants, Cape buffaloes, waterbucks, warthogs, lions, hyenas, leopards, giant forest hogs, Uganda kobs, and lots of Savannah birds on this game drive. After two to three hours in the park, you will return to the lodge and have breakfast. Spend the rest of the morning relaxing by the swimming pool until lunch. After lunch, you will take a 2:00pm boat cruise along the famous Kazinga Channel to spot a lot of hippos and birds. Retire to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

Day 3: Transfer from Queen Elizabeth to Entebbe

After taking your breakfast, go for another game drive. You will return to your lodge and pack your things in preparation for your return to Entebbe. You will stop for lunch at the Igongo cultural center and then be dropped at your preferred hotel in the city or at the airport.
