This safari is a full package that begins with a scenic journey where tourists can stop to take photos, stretch, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
Upon arrival, tourists can have breakfast or lunch and rest depending on the time they reach. Afterward, they can head out for an exciting game drive in the Kasenyi plains for a lion tracking experience.
During the drive, they may also see animals like warthogs and bush pigs, along with birds such as the papyrus gonolek, white-backed night heron, yellow-throated cuckoo, red-chested sunbird, and white-winged warbler. After this, they can break for lunch.
Later in the afternoon, around 2 p.m., they will go on a boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, which lasts about two hours. This cruise offers a great chance to see animals and water birds like the martial eagle, pelicans, African skimmers, African spoonbills, fish eagles, kingfishers, cormorants, and more.
Next, tourists are taken to Lake Katwe, where they learn how local people extract rock salt from the lake and move it to the landing area for sale.
