This is Uganda’s most visited national park and also a perfect Uganda safari destination, especially for travelers on short-haul.

Day 1: Travel from Kampala / Entebbe to Queen Elizabeth National Park

You will wake up early in the morning, have breakfast at your place of residence, and later join your safari driver guide who will be waiting for you in the parking yard. Our safari guide will introduce himself, brief you on the whole three-day program, and then start your journey to the western parts of Uganda. The first stop will be at the Equator Monument 70km away from Kampala in Kayabwe town for a beautiful picture moment and do a little souvenir shopping since there are plenty of shops.

Take lunch in Mbarara City and then proceed with your journey to Queen Elizabeth National Park. Depending on the time we arrive at the park, we shall do an optional evening drive around the park to increase our animal sightings chance. Drive to the lodge and relax as you prepare for the next day’s adventure.
