Imagine floating gently on shimmering waters as elephants drink on the banks, pods of hippos snort in the shallows, and fish eagles cry overhead. This is the Kazinga Channel, a 40 km natural waterway linking Lake George to Lake Edward in Queen Elizabeth National Park, one of Uganda’s most biodiverse destinations.
With Musana Tours and Travel, a boat safari on the Kazinga Channel is more than just sightseeing; it’s an immersive encounter with Uganda’s wildlife and a journey into the rhythm of nature, guided by experts committed to authentic, sustainable travel.
