Travel to Queen Elizabeth National Park

The journey will take 6-7 hours with stopovers at tourist attractions such as the Royal Drummakers’ Village, and at the equator for an opportunity to stand in 2 hemispheres at the same time. You will continue through the savannah grasslands with lots of banana plantations and several herds of local long-horned Ankole cattle endemic to this part of the country. You will arrive at Queen Elizabeth National Park in the evening. We will go for an evening game drive with a chance to see elephants, lions, buffaloes, etc. We return to Engiri Game Lodge for dinner and our overnight stay.
