Game drive & Nile boat ride

Wake up to a beautiful morning from our lodge, have our breakfast and head for the morning game drive to see the remaining big 4, get to see the elephants common along the albert Nile not far away from the lodge, the leopards are also a common sighting from the un-finished Idi Amin hotel adjacent to the Pakuba lodge. Buffaloes are always in plenty throughout the park and lions will be spotted as you drive on in the park. More wildlife will be spotted like the giraffes, hyenas, waterbucks, warthogs and many more.
Return to the lodge for relaxation, refresh, have lunch and head for the 2pm Nile boat ride to yet again see more wildlife like the common black and white colobus monkeys hanging in the tree branches along the River banks, the Elephants and Buffaloes wallowing in the Nile and finally getting to see the great view of the mighty water falls.
Return later and find your driver driving back to your lodge with again spotting a few wildlife along the raod.

Chimpanzee tracking

This is our last day in the park, we take our breakfast by 6:30am and be ready to set off at 6:45am for Budongo forest still in the Murchison falls National Park. The drive time is at least 1hr and 30minutes. Arrive in time for the briefing, stretch a little and set off for the chimpanzee tracking. Chimpanzees are usually active animals and are light on ground. This makes them move a little fast during tracking and this means, you need to be a little quick to follow them. Some times they will be up in the trees or even relaxed feeding from the ground.
Check out of the park, lunch and drive back to Kampala for drop off at your hotel or even Airport for your onward journey.
