Depart for Queen Elizabeth

Queen Elizabeth

This morning we will depart for Fort Portal and explore the area around the base of the Rwenzori Mountains with a visit to the world-famous Ruwenzori Mountain Sculpture Foundation. From here, your driver will take you via Kasese towards Queen Elizabeth National Park, set on the floor of the Rift Valley, with the (occasionally visible peaks of the) Rwenzori Mountains behind you. The landscape of northern Queen Elizabeth comprises dozens of ancient craters carved into gently rolling hills.

Boat safari on the Kazinga Channel

Queen Elizabeth

Start your day early morning game drive. Make sure to ask the hotel staff for a packed breakfast that morning. A popular route for the game drive in the Kasenyi sector, well-known for its lions that prey on Queen Elizabeth’s large population of Uganda Kob. If you are very lucky, you may spot a Giant Forest Hog, Africa’s largest pig. Keep your eyes peeled to spot an elusive leopard! The Kazinga Channel boat ride is a brilliant opportunity to take some close-up wildlife shots.

Bush Camp

Transfer to Bwindi Gorilla Park

Bwindi Impenetrable

Today we will depart for Bwindi Impenetrable Forest with an ‘en-route game drive’ passing through Ishasha, the remote, southern sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park. It is on the expansive plains of Ishasha that you will be on the lookout for its famous resident: the tree-climbing lion. A sighting is not guaranteed but you have a better chance of seeing them here in the large low limbed fig trees of Ishasha than anywhere else in Africa.

You will be up early on the morning of your Gorilla Tracking for a good breakfast in preparation for the day’s physical activity.
