Day 3

Depart at 06:00 for a morning game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park aiming to catch the lions hunting in the morning. Lions usually hunt as the day dawns since the temperatures are cooler. You can also expect to see the Uganda kobs, elephants, buffalos, warthogs, leopards, and waterbucks.
