3 Days Queen Elizabeth national Park Safari Holiday

My group of 5 clients and I had an absolutely amazing 3-day safari experience at Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda. From the moment we set off from Kampala to the breathtaking landscapes of the park, everything was perfectly planned and exceeded our expectations. Day 1 We arrived at the park in the afternoon after a scenic drive through Mbarara. Our first game drive was thrilling! We saw elephants, buffalo, and Uganda kobs within the first hour. The highlight of the day was spotting a pride of lions just before sunset. The park’s diverse wildlife and the beauty of the savannah immediately captivated us. Day 2 We kicked off early with another game drive, this time in the Kasenyi Plains. The sheer abundance of animals was incredible—hyenas, warthogs, and the elusive leopard! Our guide was so knowledgeable and helped us spot every species we were hoping to see. In the afternoon, the boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel was magical. We saw huge numbers of hippos, crocodiles, and elephants by the water's edge, plus a wide variety of birds, from fish eagles to kingfishers. Day 3 Our final day included a visit to the new equator point near Kasese, where we enjoyed some fun photo opportunities. The drive through Kasese to Fort Portal was stunning, with views of the majestic Rwenzori Mountains. We wrapped up with a short tour of Fort Portal before heading back to Kampala. Overall This trip was the perfect mix of adventure, wildlife, and relaxation. The game drives, boat cruise, and scenic routes kept the entire group engaged and excited. Our guide was fantastic, making sure we experienced everything the park had to offer. If you’re looking for a short, well-rounded safari in Uganda, I highly recommend this tour of Queen Elizabeth National Park! It’s an experience we won’t forget. —Visited September 2024

We chose Gorilla Safaris because they did an excellent job of accommodating our wishes for different excursions during the safari. All transfers, accommodation, entrance fees and meals were organized by the provider without any complications. The organization is very flexible and adaptable to your own wishes, the experienced guides, like Dan in our case, know their way around and use a large network of local guides, accommodation and offers to create an unforgettable experience for the clients. There is a wide range of possible activities, so it's worth asking the provider. These include gorilla or chimpanzee tracking, predator drives in the savannah, coffee making or other local cultural or craft activities.
