Welcome to the Pearl of Africa! The airport in Entebbe will be your arrival destination. Our professional tour guide will welcome you and give a brief overview of the 6 days ahead. You will proceed to Queen Elizabeth National Park for an evening game drive in the park. Queen Elizabeth National Park is Uganda's best place to see lions, including Tree Climbing lions, making it an ideal safari location.

Among its many diverse habitats are lakes, savannah grasslands, forests, and wetlands that serve as home to the largest variety of large mammals. Already your first day will be full of natural wildlife as you encounter elephants, buffaloes, warthogs, and birds. We recommend arriving the day before so that you can do some sightseeing in Kampala and Entebbe before transferring to Queen Elizabeth National Park. We are happy to assist with any planning.

Located northeast of Lake Edward and southeast of Lake George, Lake Katwe is located within an explosion crater within a formerly active volcanic area. Optionally you can also take another game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Drive to Kibale National Park in the morning for a chimpanzee tracking experience. Observe the man’s closest relatives in the wild and watch them as they play, swing on tree branches, and fight for food. Africa's Kibale National Forest has one of the highest concentrations and diversity of primates. This region is home to a large population of endangered chimpanzees, the red colobus monkey (endangered), and the rare L'Hoest's monkey, making it an excellent location for chimpanzee trekking safaris. 

In the afternoon, you will take a boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, a wide, 32-kilometre-long natural channel that links Lake Edward and Lake George, and is a dominant feature of Queen Elizabeth National Park. The channel attracts various animals and birds, with one of the world's largest concentration of hippos and numerous Nile crocodiles. At a lucky moment, some animals will be found drinking water, taking a bath, and or even hunting.
