in the park and see the tree climbing
lions, elephants, buffaloes, Kobs,

leopard. Then take dinner at Mweya
Safari Lodge or Institute of Ecology

of Kazinga channel and Lake Edward
peninsular.

drive.
Have a cup of African tea in the morning
and take chimp safari to Kyanbura
Gorge and you will stumble upon with
buffaloes, water bucks, warthogs,
lions, Uganda kobs and other animals
plus a collection of birds. Over 95
species of mammals and 600 species
of birds have been recorded. Then
head to Katunguru trading centre where
there are different ethnic groups
with very much related languages for
cultural performances. You will be
taken back to Mweya Safari Lodge for
refreshments and lunch. Take a boat
cruise at the Kazinga Channel in the
