3 Days Queen Elizabeth National park wildlife safari
This 3 days Queen Elizabeth National Park wildlife safari is such a rewarding Uganda safari within the most beautiful Queen Elizabeth National Park, which is situated in the western part of Uganda. Queen Elizabeth National Park is the only destination in Uganda where travelers are blessed with an encounter with the mighty tree-climbing lions that are found within the Ishasha sector.
These tree-climbing lions are also found in Lake Manyara National Park in Tanzania but their population is still low as compared to the population in Uganda.
Therefore, taking part in this 3-day Queen Elizabeth National Park wildlife safari opens the doors for the wildlife and nature lovers to enjoy a fascinating game drive in the Kasenyi plains for an opportunity to spot the pride of lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, Uganda kob and several bird species.
Queen Elizabeth National Park also offers the most exciting boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel for a golden chance to spot crocodiles, hippos & water birds, among others.
Thus, the major activities enjoyed while on this 3-day Queen Elizabeth National Park wildlife safari include morning game drives in both the Kasenyi plains and Ishasha sector & an afternoon boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel.
To maximize your safari, you need to arrive in Uganda a day before your safari in order to create time for transportation to Queen Elizabeth National Park and return to Kampala for departures.
