Tour Overview
Located in the northeastern sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, the Kasenyi Plains are Uganda's classic savannah game-drive territory — open grassland, crater lakes, and one of the country's highest concentrations of predators and grazing wildlife. This three-day itinerary puts Kasenyi's game drives at the center of a short, focused Uganda safari.
Detailed Description
Kasenyi is best known as prime lion-hunting ground, and early morning drives here are consistently the most rewarding — predators are most active at first light, and the open terrain makes for clear sightings and strong photography conditions. Beyond lion and leopard, expect large herds of Uganda kob grazing the plains, elephants moving through the savannah, and excellent visibility across the whole landscape. This itinerary is commonly paired with a Kazinga Channel boat safari for a complete Queen Elizabeth National Park experience, and pairs naturally with a longer chimpanzee or gorilla trekking itinerary for travelers with more time.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival & Afternoon Game Drive
Arrive in Queen Elizabeth National Park and settle into your lodge, followed by an afternoon game drive across the Kasenyi Plains to spot early wildlife activity. Overnight near Queen Elizabeth National Park.
Day 2: Full-Day Kasenyi Plains Game Drives
An early-morning game drive to catch predators at their most active, followed by a second drive later in the day. Look for lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, warthog, and large herds of Uganda kob across the open plains. Overnight near Queen Elizabeth National Park.
Day 3: Final Game Drive & Departure
A final morning game drive before departure, or an optional add-on Kazinga Channel boat safari for travelers wanting to extend the Queen Elizabeth National Park experience.

Why Travel With Afric Mzizi Safaris
Afric Mzizi Safaris schedules Kasenyi game drives around the early morning and late afternoon windows when predator activity peaks, giving you the strongest odds of a genuine lion sighting rather than a generic mid-day drive. As a family-run East African operator, we combine Kasenyi seamlessly with the Kazinga Channel, chimpanzee trekking, or gorilla trekking for a complete, well-paced Uganda itinerary.
