WILDERNESS OF QUEEN ELIZABETH NP
4 days / 3 nights
This 4-day trip is designed for those who want to see the best of Uganda’s wildlife and landscapes without feeling rushed. Over four days, you’ll move from the unique zebra-filled plains of Lake Mburo to the famous lion territories and elephant-lined banks of Queen Elizabeth National Park.
TRANSFER TO LAKE MBURO
We’ll pick you up early from Kampala to get a head start on the traffic. Our first stop is at the Equator crossing in Kayabwe, where you can hop across the hemispheres and grab a few photos. From there, we continue the drive to Lake Mburo National Park. After checking into your lodge and having lunch, we’ll head out for an afternoon game drive. This park is special because it’s one of the few places in Uganda where you can see large herds of Burchell’s zebra and impala. As the sun sets, we’ll head back to the lodge for dinner and a quiet night at your accommodation.
WALKING SAFARI
After breakfast, we’ll head out on a guided morning walk. Walking through the park gives you a completely different perspective than being in a car, you’ll get close to the wild wonders of Mburo on foot. Afterward, we’ll begin the journey toward Queen Elizabeth National Park. We’ll stop in Mbarara town for lunch, likely at Igongo Cultural Centre to try some local dishes, before continuing the drive through scenic tea plantations. As we descend the rift valley escarpment, the landscape opens up into the vast savannahs of Queen Elizabeth. You’ll reach your lodge by late afternoon to relax and take in the views before dinner and later an overnight stay.
KASENYI PLAINS
We’ll be out at sunrise to catch the predators while they are still active. The Kasenyi plains are the best spot for this, including the Tree climbing Lions only native to Queen Elizabeth National Park. Around midday, we’ll head back for lunch and a short break. In the afternoon, we take to the water on the Kazinga Channel. This boat cruise is often the highlight of the trip, you’ll drift past hundreds of wildlife coming down to the water to drink. It’s an incredible chance for close-up photos before we head back to the lodge for the evening and dinner.
RETURN TO KAMPALA
Enjoy a final breakfast overlooking the park before we begin our journey back to the city. We’ll take a slow drive out, giving us one last chance to spot any wildlife we might have missed. We’ll head back through Mbarara and make another stop at the Equator for any last-minute souvenir shopping or a quick coffee. The drive usually takes about 6 to 7 hours, and we’ll have you back in Kampala by late afternoon or early evening to wrap up the safari.

BASIC TERMS
This is a conscious tourism experience that will have your perspectives challenged and broadened as you experience a
new culture and hopefully gain fresh insights. Here are a few things you should know;
- We do our absolute best to keep to the Programme and timings but sometimes the weather/animals/roads/slow
rhythm of village life gets the better of us! - Respect of the community and local culture is paramount. We recommend modest clothes that covers the knees for
the ladies to avoid discomfort for the locals and some very long uncomfortable stares. - Taking of photos with consent from parties involved is also to be observed. We do not recommend taking photos of
children during the experience - The Ajulu Hill trail can be rough and the rock is pretty sun exposed during dry seasons, we recommend wearing long
sleeve shirts and pants - In the rural area , only pit latrines (hole in the ground) are available. P.S -Including squats in your exercise routine will
get you started for sure
