Guided tracking allows you to observe buffalo, elephants, and other species in their natural habitats around Northern Kazinga near Mweya. Lions are commonly seen in Kasenyi’s eastern plains and along the Kasese road, where they hunt Uganda Kobs. Wildlife drives are most productive in early mornings or late afternoons. Dinner and stay at your lodge.

Begin with a morning drive in Kasenyi to spot antelopes, leopards, elephants, and lions. Later, take a boat trip along Kazinga Channel to observe waterbirds and animals congregating along the shores. Dinner and stay at your lodge.

Day 3: Return to Kampala/Entebbe
After breakfast, head to Kalinzu Forest for chimpanzee tracking. Spend an hour with the chimpanzees before returning to your guide. Depart for Kampala, stopping for lunch in Mbarara and at the equator for photos and activities. Reach Kampala by evening for hotel or airport drop-off.
