Game Drive and Boat cruise | Queen Elizabeth National Park
Breakfast in the morning and head into the park for a game drive. Close to 100 species of mammals and about 606 types of birds dwell within this park and among them are the large schools of hippos, large forest hogs and the good-look Uganda kobs which are all commonly seen in the tourist villages on the magnificent Mweya Peninsula which prides in a beautiful waterfront locale within the shadows of Mountain Rwenzori. Other animals you will see are the lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos, among others. Since these are wild animals, viewing majority of them especially the cats is very much dependent on pure luck, but it is very unlikely that you don't see the ones listed here.
Return to the lodge for a hot lunch and head out again after for the afternoon boat cruise. This will be a very beautiful experience as it will also come with it's own animal viewing. Most of the animals come to the channel for some water and rest in the afternoon, especially the elephants and crocodiles.

The trek may possibly take something like 2 to 8 hours depending on how far the gorillas have moved.
After the trek, you will meet the Batwa people and see how after a long time, they've been able to depend and continue to exist entirely on the forest. You will be captivated by their exceptional way of living and the way they locally make their beer.
