This excursion offers opportunities to spot an impressive range of wildlife, including lions, buffaloes, giraffes, elephants, antelopes, waterbucks, and an abundance of bird species.

Following the game drive, lunch is enjoyed back at the lodge. The afternoon brings an unforgettable boat cruise along the Nile, where sightings of Nile crocodiles, hippos, buffaloes, and elephants along the riverbanks are common.
