Itinerary
-
Day 1- Kigosi National Park
Arrival and Western Exploration
- Morning: Arrive at a nearby airstrip (if flying) or drive to the park's western entrance. Settle into your chosen accommodation – either a campsite within the park (requires pre-booking) or a lodge/tented camp just outside.
- Afternoon: Begin your Kigosi adventure with a game drive focusing on the western section of the park. This area is characterized by Miombo woodlands and offers good opportunities to spot various antelopes, buffaloes, and perhaps even a glimpse of leopards.
- Evening: Enjoy dinner at your accommodation and relax, listening to the sounds of the African bush. A night game drive (if offered and permitted) can be an exciting option to see nocturnal animals.
-
Day 2- Wetland Wonders and Boat Safari
- Morning: Early start for a game drive deeper into the park, venturing towards the wetland areas. This is where you have the best chance to see the park's unique wildlife, including lions adapted to hunting in the water, sitatungas (swamp-dwelling antelopes), hippos, and crocodiles.
- Afternoon: Embark on a boat safari on one of the lakes or rivers within the park, such as Lake Kigosi. This provides a different perspective of the park and allows for excellent birdwatching opportunities. Keep an eye out for shoebill storks, wattled cranes, and a variety of other waterbirds. The boat safari also offers chances to see hippos and crocodiles up close.
- Evening: Return to your accommodation for dinner. Consider a sundowner overlooking the wetlands for a truly memorable experience.
-
Day 3- Eastern Exploration and Departure
- :Morning: Explore the eastern section of the park, which may offer different landscapes and wildlife viewing opportunities compared to the western areas. This might involve another game drive or a guided walking safari (if available and pre-arranged). Walking safaris provide a more intimate connection with the park's flora and fauna.
- Afternoon: Enjoy a final game drive as you make your way back towards the park entrance. This is your last chance to spot any animals you may have missed.
- Evening: Depart from Kigosi National Park, either driving to your next destination or transferring to an airstrip for your onward journey.
