ISHASHA WILDERNESS CAMP - ACTIVITIES

The Queen Elizabeth national Park spreads over an area of 1978 square km in the western arm of the Great East African Rift Valley. The park is home to a variety of wildlife including elephant, lion, hippo, leopard, buffalo and Uganda kob. Birds present are all typical of riverine and savannah habitats.
The Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park is the place to search for the tree climbing lions often to be seen in the vicinity of the camp which is situated just off the Northern circuit game viewing track. The lions also favour the large fig trees on the Southern circuit game viewing track and this offers alternative game viewing routes.

On early morning and late afternoon game drives, either in your safari vehicle, or for fly-in guests, in our open vehicle, you may explore the areas game routes in search of the different species. The area is still pristine and untouched with only a handful of game vehicles found around the area at any time.
You may also explore the camp area on foot and do some bird-watching with Nerina trojon and black bee eaters being two of the rarer bird species sighted at the camp. Guided walks with National Park staff can be arranged along the Ishasha river area for close up viewing of hippos and offer a unique bush experience.

Community Projects can be visited nearby including a performance with a local dance and drama group, and walk through the nearby Kazinga village where schools, homes and farms can be visited with a guide or visits to the traditional medicinal herbalists.
