Game Driving in Queen

Queen Elizabeth National Park covers some 1978 square kilometres and boasts 350 different types of mammal and 600 species of bird.  Game driving from Euphorbia is wonderful for as soon as you leave the gates of the lodge you are already in the park meaning wildlife sightings can begin straight away.  If needed we can organize drives for you from the lodge reception with options to head out early and enjoy breakfast in the park as the sun comes up over the savannah grasslands or later with a picnic lunch and afternoon game driving.

Safari vehicles are fully equipped with window seats and a viewing roof, water, guide books and binoculars.

We explore the vicinity of Kasenyi and Uganda Kob breeding grounds where there is the chance to spot lions and go on to the open grassland savannah in search of elephants, buffalo, Topi and warthogs.  In the early morning you can hear the call of the hyena and with luck we will find them, maybe a leopard too.

The bird life is remarkable here; see our national bird the crowned cranes, storks during migration, stonechats, wheatears, plovers, shimmering blue starlings, Tawny eagles, African marsh harriers, long crested eagles, yellow throated long claw, Sacred Ibis, white backed, white necked and hooded vultures and Maribou storks… 

We can take you on to the shores of the Kazinga channel for a sunset cruise along this stunning 40km stretch of water joining Lakes Edward and George; an incredible place to spot more game, especially hippos and hear the evocative call of the fish eagle as the sun goes down.

If you are also looking to go onwards for gorilla trekking in Bwindi we can take you via the Ishasha sector of Queen where you can go in search of the tree climbing lions.
