 DAY 2:   Queen Elizabeth National Park

Get back to the lodge as late as possible for breakfast and leisure. After lunch, set out for a boat ride through the Kazinga Channel, which connects Lakes George and Edward. This is a true heaven for birdwatchers since you can see a great variety of migratory and resident waterbirds, including hippos, from the boat. It is a magnificent sight to see several buffalo relaxing in the water of the Channel as large herds of elephants drink and play on the banks. Having supper and staying the night in the lodge.

Chimpanzee tracking in the tropical Kyambura gorge awaits you after breakfast. It requires physical fitness because of the climbing involved. You'll frequently see birds and butterflies.
