Experience Uganda like never before in just 3 days, Queen Elizabeth National Park and Kalinzu Forest tour. I know it may sound impossible to exhaust Queen Elizabeth and Kalinzu in just 3 days, but it's very possible. While in the park, take on a game drive and boat cruise safaris to capture the park's savannah and aquatic lifestyles. Visit the Kalinzu for a primate encounter. Arrival will be at Entebbe International Airport, and also the departure, unless specified at the drop-off location.

Tour step
You'll be collected from the airport. Accommodation before the tour starts can be arranged for an extra cost.
Day 1
Through the gates on the arrival terminal at Entebbe International Airport, our driver guide will usher you into the country with a short briefing on how your 3 days Queen Elizabeth National Park and Kalinzu Forest tour will go. Journey to the western side of the country for about 6 hours with an en route lunch to Queen Elizabeth National Park, where you will arrive at your lodge by evening in time for dinner and rest. Mid-range lodge located just outside Kyambura Gorge (Chimps) Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 2
Wake up to the melodies of some of the bird species in the park, singing you to your early breakfast at your lodge. Your driver guide will take you on a game drive adventure in the Kasenyi plains of the park. Expect to encounter animals like lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, warthogs, antelopes, waterbucks, etc. From morning to noon, you will explore these plains, encountering various animals, and then return to the lodge for lunch. Head to the Katungulu landing site at Kazinga Channel in the afternoon to begin your boat cruise experience. Witness the largest population of hippos in the country as you sail along their large schools, as the crocodiles look on from the banks of the channel. Not far from them, you can spot other animals like elephants, antelopes, and buffaloes as they quench their thirst. Watch the sun as it sets while shining its final rays on the water, crafting a scenic view from the movies. Head to the lodge for dinner and rest later. Mid-range lodge located just outside Kyambura Gorge (Chimps) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 3
Edging closer to the end of your trip, drive to Kalinzu Forest at the briefing center for a pre-trek briefing after breakfast. Kalinzu Forest is one of those few chimpanzee habitats in the country where one can have an incredible time with the chimpanzee primates. The briefing also includes grouping into groups of 8 people and allocating a ranger guide to guide on the tracking of the chimps. A few hours into the forest, the tracking will begin, and though it may sound like a piece of cake but it’s quite challenging for the unfit. Upon encountering the chimpanzees, you will be given an hour to spend in the presence of these primates, taking pictures, and watching them as they tackle their day’s chores. Drive for lunch at your lodge and check out of your lodge in Queen Elizabeth National Park and depart. Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

We chose this company thanks to a direct acquaintance of friends who work in Uganda. We couldn't have made a better choice! A 9-day tour starting in Entebbe, spending a night at the rhino sanctuary, reaching Murchison Falls, continuing on to Queen Elizabeth Park, and finishing the tour at Lake Mburo. Perfect organization, high professionalism, and maximum availability from Sympathy, who organized the tour for us months ago, and from Giuliano and Chris, who accompanied us on this wonderful adventure, providing us with tons of fun and becoming part of our family. More than a vacation, I would call it a life experience for both us and our children, which will remain forever in our hearts.

Look no further for your trip to any part of Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya or Tanzania. I am a seasoned traveller having visited over 100 countries and many parts of Africa. Allanblackia Safaris stood out for me. Before the trip, they gave suggestions, answered my many questions and adapted the trip to suit my wishes. When my trip across Uganda and Rwanda arrived, Sympathy was excellent from start to finish. Informative, reliable and showed me so much more than just 'the brochure.' 'I must just take you here...' Sympathy went above and beyond from start to finish. He also has strong family values and gives back to the community. Whilst we were away, a family got stung by a bogus Safari company. Sympathy sorted a trip for them quickly with another company. He said, 'Worry about payment later - lets sort your holiday first.' This is the measure of the man - a decent human being. So book with Allenblackia Safaris (the name of his dad's favourite tree by the way) and you will have an experience of a lifetime across your chosen African country. Thank you Allanblackia Safaris for being the best.
