With patience and a little luck, you may encounter lions or leopards. Wildlife sightings vary according to the season, animal movements, and prevailing conditions.
Return to your lodge for breakfast and some relaxation before enjoying lunch.
In the afternoon, head to the Kazinga Channel for a memorable boat cruise. This natural waterway connects Lake George and Lake Edward and offers excellent opportunities to observe hippos, Nile crocodiles, elephants, buffaloes, and a variety of waterbirds along the banks.

Enjoy a guided wildlife drive through the open grasslands, looking for lions, elephants, buffaloes, topis, antelopes, and other wildlife. Although tree-climbing lions are a major attraction, sightings are never guaranteed.
The journey also provides opportunities to appreciate the park’s diverse scenery, photograph wildlife, and learn about the local ecosystem from your driver-guide.
Depending on your accommodation location and travel arrangements, you will enjoy a picnic or lodge lunch and continue exploring the area before returning to your lodge.

Arrive in Kampala or Entebbe in the late afternoon or evening, depending on road conditions, stops, and your departure point.
