Morning Game Drive & Community Boat Experience at Katugurua

Begin your day with an early morning game drive in the Kasenyi Plains of Queen Elizabeth National Park, when wildlife is most active. This is the best time to spot elephants, buffaloes, Uganda kobs, hyenas, and possibly lions returning from their night hunt. The sunrise over the savannah creates a beautiful and memorable experience.

After the game drive, return to the lodge for lunch and some relaxation as you prepare for the afternoon activity.

Later in the day, head to Katunguru for a unique community boat experience along the famous Kazinga Channel. This guided boat trip offers close views of hippos, crocodiles, elephants, and a wide variety of bird species along the water shores. Unlike standard cruises, the community boat provides a more local and authentic perspective, often guided by experienced community members.

After the boat cruise, transfer to Pumba safari cottages.

Alternatively, you can take part in carnivore tracking in the Kasenyi sector, a special research-based experience that allows you to track lions and other predators with expert guides, offering deeper insight into their behavior and conservation.

After the activity, begin your return journey to Entebbe, with a stop for lunch along the way and time to relax. Enjoy the scenic drive as you reflect on your wildlife adventure.
