Meet your Ikigai guide early in Entebbe for the drive west to Queen Elizabeth National Park. The 7–8 hour journey is part of the adventure, winding through lush countryside, crater lakes, and the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains. Arrive in the park in time for an afternoon game drive, where you might spot elephants crossing the road or buffalo grazing by the water.
Start with a sunrise game drive on the Kasenyi Plains, prime hunting grounds where lions stalk kob and leopards sometimes slink through the tall grass. After lunch, board a boat for the Kazinga Channel cruise, a highlight of any Uganda safari. Drift past pods of hippos, crocodiles basking on the banks, and hundreds of birds, from fish eagles to kingfishers.
After breakfast, begin the journey back to Entebbe, arriving by evening.
