Wake up to the sounds of nature, hop on board and embark on a sunrise safari. The vast savannah plains, swamps and forests of Queen Elizabeth Park are home to around 95 mammals species and more than 600 species of birds.

Different species of egrets, herons, storks, fish eagles, Egyptian geese and cormorants, among other bird species, can be easily observed. The canal is a source of water for elephants, buffaloes and many other bird species. Return to the dock and end the day in nature with a brief safari.
