There is a high chance of seeing a rainbow on a sunny day, which makes it even more magical, and it is referred to as the only area that receives rainfall throughout the whole year.
• Experience the big herds of elephants, kob, Jackson's hartebeest, lions, and many other animals and bird species. You will not be disappointed by a visit to this national park.
• You will have the option of visiting Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for rhino tracking at an extra cost of $40 per person. After this fascinating experience, you will proceed to your booked lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

• You will have breakfast at leisure and then set off for a classic African safari in the park as you drive towards Paraa Lodge, which offers virtually guaranteed buffalo, antelope, and elephant sightings, along with warthogs. This rewarding game drive takes about 3-6 hours, depending on the season and the movement of the animals. It is a magnificent drive with a lot to see, including herds of elephants, hippos, buffaloes, antelopes such as Jackson's hartebeest, Uganda kobs, Defassa waterbuck, and much more wildlife. On lucky days, you may also see a pride of lions and the solitary leopard.
• You will check in and have a hot lunch before setting off for another wonderful activity - a boat cruise on the Nile. This is an oasis for many of the fascinating species that inhabit the park, and taking a boat trip gives visitors the chance to cruise just a few meters from hundreds of enormous hippos, crocodiles sunbathing, and buffaloes, while elephants linger along the shoreline. This will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of your tour. The cruise takes about 3 hours from departure to return.
• Upon arrival, you will drive to the hotel in the evening for dinner and an overnight stay.
