The well-known Kazinga canal featuring black lined elephants, hippos, and massive Nile crocodiles divides the park. The park has much to offer visitors; the list of attractions of this Albertine rift flow is almost limitless. Still, it’s great to see these gorgeous animals from the heavens outside of game drive.
The adventurous trip kicks off at 5:30. The hot air balloon safari starts in the morning with the amazing views of the beautiful sun rising from east as thought it was coming out from lake George, east of the park this balloon safari is one of a kind. Flight lasts for almost an hour.
