CRUISE ON THE KAZINGA CHANNEL
Go there and contact
Shallow (an average of one metre of water column), the approximately 40 km canal that connects Lake Edward to Lake George offers the opportunity for a two-hour boat ride, which is certainly the most popular activity in the park. Four or five daily departures (at 9:00 am, 11:00 am, 1:00 pm, 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm), from the landing stage located under the Mweya Safari Lodge, are scheduled by the UWA. Tickets (US$30 per person) can be purchased at the park office. It is possible to climb on the roof of the boat to make the most of the panorama, but be careful, the sun is hitting hard at the bottom of the Rift Valley. The luckiest ones will be able to see a leopard quenching his thirst, but you will probably have to be satisfied with watching hippos splashing hippos, elephants spraying elephants, eagles soaring eagles, kingfishers diving, crocodiles hiding, hogs drinking, antelopes slumming, lazing lizards, buffaloes basking, jacana showing off and weavers bustling about. A most enjoyable spectacle! Recently, the community organization Kazinga Channel Beach (+256 703 700 500) organized its own cruises (25 US$ per person for about 2 hours) with equally competent guides. Departures (from 8am to 5pm), towards Lake Edward or Lake George, take place from Katunguru, on the north shore of the canal, at the bridge over which the national road passes and under which fish spawn and swallows nest.
