Day 3
Game viewing Ishasha for tree-climbing lions and connect north Queen Elizabeth N Park
Game viewing Ishasha for tree-climbing lions and connect north Queen Elizabeth N Park
Be up early, have breakfast and embark on a transfer to the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth NP – famously known for its tree-climbing lion population. Once there, undertake a game drive in search of this rare species of lions. The chance of spotting these lions stands at about 60-70% but sometimes they are hard to spot (most especially when they are down in the grassland looking for prey). Should you get the chance to spot the lions up in the tree, the sight is picturesque and unforgettable. From Ishasha (south), exit and head to the booked accommodation in the north sector. Check in and take rest. Optional: If interested, you may consider a late afternoon-to-evening game drive/safari in the Kasenyi plains.

During the trip, the sight of wildlife including giant hippos, elephants and crocodiles among others will fascinate you. You will also see many varieties of birds at the water shores. *After the boat trip, you can decide either to return to the lodge to rest or first proceed for a brief late afternoon game drive and thereafter, return to the lodge.

Chimpanzee trekking and flight back to Entebbe
Chimpanzee trekking and flight back to Entebbe
After an early breakfast, you will transfer to the park offices to meet the ranger guides for a pre-trek briefing, after which you will set off to trek a community of chimpanzees in the forest. Up to 3 large communities of chimpanzees have been habituated for the trekking adventure. You will locate the chimps without too much strain since the territory of each chimp community is known beforehand by advanced trackers. Your guides will communicate these locations. While you trek through the forest, you will observe plenty of other wildlife. Other primates you may spot include red colobus monkey, L’Hoest's monkey, grey-cheeked mangabey, and velvet monkey.
Return to your lodge to rest for a while before you transfer to the Kasese airstrip for your flight back to Kampala.
