Activity of the day:
Game viewing
We provide a second opportunity for game viewing so that you may have the chance of finding the animals that you may have not seen the previous day. Unlike, the first game drive, this one starts in the morning just before dawn at 6am, so that you may have the chance of seeing animals that otherwise stay out of the scorching sun during the day.
Boat Launch
This is another game viewing expedition, but instead of a drive you do it in a boat. This is done in the afternoon between 2 and 5pm on the Kazinga channel, which is a 32km long hippo and crocodile infested channel connecting two rift valley lakes – Lake George and Lake Edward.
You will set off from the lodge at 9am for a seven-hour drive back to your accommodation in Kampala.
