Savannah and Wildlife Safari

This 4 days Savannah and Wildlife Safari gives you an opportunity to explore the best of Uganda’s wildlife in Queen Elizabeth and Lake Mburo National Parks. Queen Elizabeth National Park's diverse ecosystems include sprawling savannah, shady humid forests, sparkling lakes and fertile wetlands making it the ideal habitat for classic big game, ten primate species including chimpanzees and over 600 species of birds.

Lake Mburo National Park on the other hand is an attractive park of rolling hills and open grassy valleys, interspersed with thickets, woodlands and rich wetlands. Wildlife species in Lake Mburo National Park include impala, eland, topi, bushbuck, sitatunga, giraffes, common duiker, klipspringer, Oribi, Defassa waterbuck and Bohor reedbuck and Burchell’s zebra. The lake and lush fringing vegetation support healthy populations of buffalo, warthog, bush pig and hippopotamus. Birdwatchers will enjoy more than 250 species of birds. It is probably the best place in Uganda to see acacia-associated birds. Also of special interest to birders are the swamps, the place to see six so-called papyrus endemics, including the striking papyrus Gonolek and the highly localized papyrus yellow warbler (recorded nowhere else in Uganda).
