• After an early morning breakfast, link up with the driver-guide for a 3-4 hour game drive in Narus Valley, a thrilling savannah grassland of rolling plains rewarded with scenic views of mountains, hills, and a constant water and pasture supply throughout the year. This boosts sightings of abundant wildlife such as elephants, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, and many antelope species including eland, Jackson hartebeest, oribis, lesser kudu, bohor reedbuck, kobs, impalas, waterbuck, and Beisa Oryx. You may also spot many cat species such as lions, leopards, caracal, bat-eared fox, side-striped and black-backed jackal, spotted hyenas, and many more.

Retreat from the activity and return to the lodge on the reverse journey for relaxation and lunch.
• Later in the afternoon, link up with the driver and transfer to Lorukul cultural village, which is strategically located just outside Lokomoit Park Gate. While at the Karamojong village, you will learn about their traditions through many traditional experiences, music, dance and drama, food preparation, lifestyle, and traditional crafts and souvenir items. Return to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
