Return to the lodge for late breakfast and later lunch at 1300hrs. In the afternoon at 1500hrs, take a 2-hour boat ride on the Kazinga channel which connects Lake George and Edward. This will allow you to experience wildlife up close where hippos huff and spray mere feet away, buffalo linger in the shallows and a tremendous variety of birds grace the grasses on the river’s edge. Amongst those you will see are the malachite and pied kingfishers, great white and pink-backed pelicans and the open-billed stork. With some luck you will even spot elephants on the river banks coming for a drink and a bath. At 17 hours, return to the lodge. Relax by the pool and enjoy the scenery.
