The 5 Days Uganda Safari Package Itinerary

Day 1: Drive to Queen Elizabeth National Park

By today morning, your car and driver are ready; I hope you are also ready for the trip. Having early breakfast is greatly important to arrive at the park in time. You never predict what happens on the road, set off early and have enough time to stop and take photographs, buy some roasted foods, do a lot of sightseeing. The drive takes approximately 6-7hrs to the southwestern region. Have the rest of your evening checking, dinner and overnight stay.

Accommodation: Ishasha Wilderness Camp, Ihamba Lakeside lodge, Simba Safari Camp

Day 2: Game Drive & Boat Cruise

The leopards rove the Mweya peninsular, lions conquer the Ishasha sector and the shoebill stork, herds of elephants, buffaloes, Uganda Kob, bushbucks, Jackson’s heart beast, sitatungas, baboons, mongoose and many more rodents linger around the open Savannah areas of the park.  Enjoy much of the park during the Morning game drive; it is best to start as early as 6am.

The afternoon launch cruise sails past the hippos and the Nile crocodiles. This is the best spot to view the pink backed pelicans, crows, African fish eagle, yellow wagtail, black crake, saddle-billed stork and lot more. Every moment in the wild places of Uganda is worth every dollar spent in a foreign country. Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
