Embark on an exciting morning lion tracking experience across the Kasenyi plains of Queen
Elizabeth National Park. The Uganda Wildlife Authority has established a dedicated Cat Family
Sustainable Conservation Unit, providing cat enthusiasts with rich information, fun experiences,
and close encounters.
Queen Elizabeth National Park is home to approximately 250 large cats, including lions and
leopards. The southern sector of the park is known for its unique tree-climbing lions. The lion
tracking activity operates daily and accommodates up to 50 tourists across morning, afternoon,
and night sessions.
Your lion tracking adventure begins with a briefing from a researcher at the park headquarters.
You'll learn essential guidelines for the experience before venturing into the savanna plains.
Accompanied by the researcher in a vehicle, you'll track the movements of these majestic
predators. At times, the researcher may veer off marked trails or use a radio collar to locate the
lions.
Once the predators are spotted, the vehicle engine is turned off to avoid disturbing them. The
researcher will share detailed insights into the lives of these cats, offering a research-focused
perspective. The data collected during these encounters contributes significantly to
understanding the behaviors and habits of these predators.
Tourists have the opportunity to observe how the lions feed, interact, defend themselves, hunt
prey, and witness the playful antics of their young. It's an educational and immersive experience
into the world of these fascinating animals.
After your morning lion tracking experience in the Kasenyi plains, return to the lodge for lunch.

5It was a very peaceful and calm sailing with Sofia, my skipper for the day. The wind was a bit weak initially but it really picked up when we were sailing back. Sofia is very active and an excellent skipper and a very good guide and pointed lot of different types of boats to me, the meaning of the horns. The island we went to was hilly and a very small beach and we had a good lunch there.

4The experience was great, there was a lot to see. A few comments, 1. The audio was quite soft at times so I could not hear the commentary and history but the audio I could hear was entertaining and well read 2. Different drivers give different service so if you do not have a map it is easy to miss spots. I recommend having a sign/audio in the bus that tells you which stop you are at

5We LOVED this tour. Our group’s ages range from 18-26 and the tour was perfect for us. It is somewhat physically challenging but if you are in decent shape, it’s manageable and so worth it! Their team gives you all the gear you need (wetsuits, shoes, helmets, life jackets, etc) so all we brought was a swimsuit and a towel. This has been the favorite activity of our group so far on our travels.
