I packed my baggage with a lot of excitement ready to face
Africa for the first time. We traveled by direct flight till Entebbe where I
met my driver guide. Although I was not familiar with the immigration
procedures, he was ready to assist me and finally we were out to start this
remarkable Uganda Safari CONTACT US
How is a Uganda Safari Holiday
We drove through the lush country side of Uganda but this
kept me wondering if we could pass through the capital. I was amazed by the
super natural rivers that we passed by, huge forest cover as if moving to the
end of the world. At one time, we had a
stopover at the equator where I was excited to take some picture and perform
the water experiment.

We carried on and I continued observing the incredible
nature that we passed by meandering rivers, very high mountains, deep valleys
and a huge colony of bats that we stopped to take pictures. Finally we were
arrived in Queen Elizabeth National Park.
As we drove into the park, we meet a number of animals like
the huge elephants, solitary buffaloes, warthogs that seemed to be the
predominant in the park, water bucks the list is endless. We finally got to the
Mweya peninsular where I spent my night in the jungle.

Early in the morning, we got to the road to begin off with a
game drive. Honestly, I have never seen a busy wilderness like Queen Elizabeth
national Park. We meet a herd of elephants, a pride of lions was fighting for
the day’s meal, we drove further and met several solitary buffaloes, it was our
lucky day so we also met a leopard that was posing in the tree branches. The
back drop of this park is amazing with ranges that form a wonderful
appearance. The park has several crater lakes
including one that smells like a rotten egg. I was advised by my guide that it
is the hospital for the animals so some meet there death there and rot
producing that smell.
The launch cruise was the most amazing as I had the chance
of meeting schools of hippos, crocodiles, and the shore was decorated with a
flock of birds in that if one flew away, you could not recognize its departure
because of the congestion. They are colorful birds and exciting to look at. I
even had the chance of spotting a shoebill which is one of the endangered birds.
The next day was so exciting as I had the chance of meeting
the chimpanzees in Kyambura gorge. We had to hike to the slopes to meet them. They
behave and relate like humans. We had a lot of fun in the forest but I was
scared of meeting a lion because this Queen Elizabeth National Park is renowned
for its tree climbing lions. We returned to the lodge and the following day, I had
to catch up with my flight back home. Below is the itinerary I followed and enjoyed.

Launch cruise
Rise up early for a game drive in the crater lakes region of
the park. You may have the chance of spotting animals like the lions, elephants,
buffaloes, leopards, warthogs, kobs, various birds and so much more. Return for
late breakfast and embark on a fascinating launch cruise on Kazinga channel.
Here a number of animals congregate to quench their thirst and birds flock to
its banks including foreign birds. Return to the lodge and relax.
Day 3: Chimpanzee
trekking
Having enjoyed your game drive, head to Kyambura gorge for
chimpanzee trekking experience. These chimpanzees live in a community headed by
an alpha male. They live on the escarpments
of the valley so you need to hike to get to see them. Return to your lodge and
relax.
Drive Back home
After your Uganda wildlife safari, drive to Entebbe Airport to
catch up with your flight back home.
