Take in the dawn with hot coffee or tea before your driver guide takes you for the morning game drive for an opportunity to spot the early morning wildlife in action while the sun rises majestically with its beautiful scenery. Look out for the wild cats in action before they retreat to the thickets. Other animals not to miss include elephants, buffaloes, and hippos among others. Return to the lodge for a more sumptuous breakfast and relax till lunch.

After lunch, enjoy an afternoon cruise on the Kazinga channel in search of solitary buffalo, elephants, hippo, crocodiles and many other animals. The 32 kilometers stretch that joins Lake Edward to Lake George is believed to hold the largest concentration of hippos in the entire world. Elephants, solitary buffaloes and waterbucks are among the animals normally sighted at the banks. On a lucky day lions and other predators are also sighted in the hideouts waiting to catch their prey as it goes for a drink at the channel.

The channel is also rich in bird life as thousands of birds are always at the channel both indigenous and migrant species that fly thousands of miles all the way from Europe and other parts of the world to escape the winter. Some of the bird species include the Martial Eagle, Black-rumped Buttonquail, African Skimmer, Chapin’s Flycatcher, Pinkbacked Pelican, African Broadbill, Verreaux’s Eagle Owl, Black Bee-eater, White-tailed Lark, White-winged Warbler, Papyrus Gonolek, Papyrus Canary, Corncrake, Lesser and Greater Flamingo, Shoebill, Bar-tailed Godwit. After the cruise if time allows you might take a game drive to the craters before returning to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
