Day-by-Day Highlights of Your Queen Elizabeth Safari Uganda
Day 1: Arrival & Journey to Queen Elizabeth National Park
Your Queen Elizabeth Safari Uganda begins with a scenic road trip from Kigali/Entebbe, winding through the lush Kigezi Highlands. Optional photo stop at the Equator, then check in to a comfortable safari lodge. Get your camera ready for a magical sunset over the savannah.
Day 2: Game Drive on the Kasenyi Plains
