Chameleon Holidays & Travel for Safaris & Vacations in Africa | Eastern Africa | Uganda | Safaris | Family Holidays In Uganda

Day 1
Day one of our safari and we pause for supplies and snacks in Kampala before heading west towards the town of Barbara where we will stop for lunch. From here we take the road to Kasese which runs straight through the heart of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Driving down the plateau we are given breathtaking views which sweep before us and of the Rwenzori Mountains in the background. Upon checking-in there’s the chance to go for a dip in the pool!

Day 2
The next morning we are up with the sun to make the most of the early dawn game viewing. Here you can hope to spot all of the game which Africa is famous for – lions, elephants, leopard, buffalo and many different species of antelope and birdlife. Queen Elizabeth has the most recorded species of bird (over 600) of any other national park within East Africa. Bring your binoculars!

After a leisurely lunch we take the boat launch on the Kazinga Channel where hippos, crocodiles, elephants and buffalo will be in great abundance either at the waters edge, or along side your boat! We return to our accommodation in time for a well deserved sundowner and a swim.

Day 4
Today we will drive out of QE and through the countryside, before emerging on to the lower thorn and savannah scrub lands of Lake Mburo National Park. Zebra, buffalo, Ugandan Kob and plenty of other species abound in this beautiful park, where you either stay in the stunning Lodge built atop a kopje with incredible views across the park, or in the National Park bandas, down by the lake - where hippos usually come and graze close by.

Day 5
Fancy a walk on the wild side?! This morning you will have the option of a guided walking safari enabling you to get up close and personal on ground level to the many beautiful animals that roam freely in the park. Later in the afternoon you may wish to take an optional boat trip out onto the lake, or just unwind with a good book whilst the children have the opportunity of using the pool.

An early breakfast sees you being shown around the Ugandan Wildlife Education Centre and afterwards you take the boat ride across Lake Victoria, over to Ngamba Island - which is a sanctuary for rescued chimpanzees. In depth explanations from the trained guides who work at the sanctuary make this a day to remember for all visitors. Lunch is provided on the island.
