3-Day Queen Elizabeth National Park Safari with Kazinga Cruise & Chimp Trek
Starting From
Trip Overview
Queen Elizabeth National Park is
Uganda's crown jewel of biodiversity — a UNESCO biosphere reserve sheltering
lions, leopards, chimpanzees, hippos, elephants, cape buffaloes, and over 600
bird species across a spectacular mosaic of savannah, crater lakes, tropical
forest, and volcanic landscape. This vivid three-day safari captures the park's
greatest highlights in a perfectly paced itinerary: dawn game drives across the
legendary Kasenyi Plains where lion encounters are almost guaranteed, a
mesmerising launch cruise along the world-famous Kazinga Channel flanked by
Africa's largest concentration of hippos, a quest for the celebrated
tree-climbing lions of Ishasha, and a chimpanzee trekking experience in the
adjacent Kalinzu Forest Reserve. Wildlife richness and scenic drama combine in
every direction.
