After that, you’ll check out of the lodge and embark on a journey to the most popular park in Uganda, Queen Elizabeth National Park. You’ll pass through its southern sector, Ishasha, to see tree-climbing lions. Lions in this sector adopted this behavior to enable them to hide from the scorching sun, hide their prey, and spot prey from a distance. You’ll then proceed to the northern sector, where you’ll check in at the lodge and relax.

Early in the morning, you will head out on another game drive in the Kasenyi Plains.

Drive back to the lodge for lunch and relaxation. After lunch, embark on a boat cruise on the Kazinga channel, where schools of hippos are spotted along with a large number of water birds, and herds of elephants come to drink in the channel. The boat cruise takes about two hours, and after the cruise, drive to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

On this day, you’ll wake up for breakfast, and then check out of the lodge and head to the adventure capital of East Africa, Jinja. The former capital city has a lot to offer in terms of beautiful scenery and adventure activities. You’ll head to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
Dinner and overnight at Adrift River Club
On this day, you’ll wake up early, have breakfast, and check out of the lodge. You’ll then drive to the starting point for a briefing about whitewater rafting. Your head guide will make sure you have the rafting gear before you start the activity. You’ll now enter the river, beginning with calmer waters up to grade 5 rapids. There are different levels to cater for the needs of different clients with different experiences. You’ll thereafter reach the endpoint, where you’ll shower and have lunch. After that, you will drive to Entebbe for your flight out or drop off at the hotel, depending on your choice, and this will mark the end of the trip.
