About This Tour

Queen Elizabeth National Park is Uganda's most visited safari destination, famous for its incredible biodiversity spanning savannah, wetlands, crater lakes, and dense forest.

This 5-day safari covers the park's highlights — morning and evening game drives where you can spot elephants, buffalo, leopards, Uganda kob, and warthogs. The Kazinga Channel boat cruise is a highlight: a 2-hour voyage past hippo pods, crocodiles, and hundreds of bird species.

The final days take you to the remote Ishasha sector, famous for its tree-climbing lions draped over fig tree branches — a rare and extraordinary sight found in only two places in Africa.
