From the flamingo-filled shores of Lake Nakuru to the crocodile-infested banks of Lake Edward and right down the rapids of the River Nile, the Ultimate Kenya Uganda Safari for Women package is the ultimate tour of East Africa’s spectacular freshwater lakes.
Reaching the park in the midafternoon, you will have time to take a game safari as the sun sets over the landscape as the bush livens. This the Rift Valley region revolves around Lake Nakuru, which occupies nearly a third of the entire park. The shores of this alkaline lake are typically so covered by greater and lesser flamingos that the blue shoreline becomes unrecognizable amidst the sea of pink. Pelicans provide small reliefs of white in this cotton candy landscape, with up to 450 other species of birds flying overhead. The lake truly is a birder’s paradise. Trucks at Lake Nakuru drive near the shores, and visitors are able to leave the vehicle to approach the lake edge on foot. This allows you to immerse yourself in this spectacular avian display while the sky transforms with the sunset to display your feminine beauty.
This morning you will rise early to set out on another Ultimate Kenya Uganda Safari for Women game drive through Lake Nakuru. Today you may choose to venture further into the surrounding woodlands, home to numerous baboons, hyenas, warthogs, and gazelles. Driving through the shaded forests eventually leads visitors up to hills and viewpoints over the entire park. Standing atop the famed Baboon Cliff offers guests panoramic views of Lake Nakuru, the surrounding plains and – if lucky – herds of buffalo grazing in the grasses below.
Welcome to Uganda! Arrival in the Capital City of Kampala Early this morning you will cross the border into Uganda. Leaving the handsome Kenyan customs officers behind, there is roughly a 1km walk through what seems to be a populated area belonging to neither country – hilariously complete with a bar and hotel, which accepts both currencies. As you officially enter Uganda, you will jump back into the truck to continue on driving to Kampala. Driving through Uganda, the landscapes turn a deep lush green, which is beautifully contrasted with the rich red Ugandan sand that will soon stain your feet. The drive and border crossing will consume the better part of the day but will be well worth it as you drive along the shores of Lake Victoria. Tonight you will sleep in Uganda’s bustling capital city, Kampala.
This morning, you will undoubtedly be excited to reach Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth National Park and embark on your second set of our proudly planned women-only safaris. An early departure from Kampala will put you in Queen Elizabeth National Park around midday, just in time to fit in an afternoon cruise on the Kazinga Channel. This 40-meter long channel connects eastern Lake George with the western Lake Edward and draws phenomenal wildlife to its shores. Rich birdlife, including fish eagles, pelican, and the spectacular Ugandan crested crane, maintain a consistent presence along the shores and in the trees. The river itself is constantly speckled with hippos and Nile crocodiles, in addition to any brave creatures that seek a drink of water, making this afternoon cruise one of the park’s highlights. The guided cruise ends as the sun sets, ensuring just enough time for you to seek out a scenic viewpoint for a sundowner cocktail before dinner.
Today you will rise early as the bush livens with morning activity.
