Early breakfast and out for a full day game drive. See Africa's Big Game in their natural habitat. Geographical and geological influences attracted a mix of forest, savannah and wetland species to the area. This is especially evident in the diversity of birdlife. You may see rare Shoe Billed Storks and many other species. The main watercourses in the area are Lakes Edward, George and the Niles. These attract most game animals to drink or feed on the margins. Expect to see Hippopotamus, Elephants (note the forest characteristics of thinner straighter tusks), Lion, Leopard, Water Buffalo, Crocodile, Wart Hog and the elusive Giant Forest Hog (the worlds largest wild pig). There are many others if you keep your eyes open. A picnic lunch is provided with a cold drink. Evening we return to camp for your evening meal. Overnight under canvas with campfire.

A later rise and more leisurely breakfast, followed by a launch trip up the Kazinga Channel Lunch will be served on board if possible.
