About This Journey
A compact introduction to Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda's most visited savanna reserve — sprawling craters, the Kazinga Channel, and the Ishasha sector's famously tree-climbing lions, all within a short three-day break.
Ideal as a stand-alone trip from Kampala or Entebbe, or paired with a longer gorilla or chimpanzee safari. Every departure is private, led by an expert Ugandan driver-guide.
