A Different Vantage

Some of Africa’s finest game viewing happens from a boat

When the heat of the day sends the herds to the water, the riverbank becomes the richest stage in the park. Drifting quietly downstream, you come closer to elephant, buffalo and hippo than any vehicle allows — and the birdlife along the shore is extraordinary. A boat safari is the gentlest, most cinematic way to end an afternoon in the bush.

The Victoria Nile, Murchison Falls

Cruise the river to the foot of the world’s most powerful waterfall, where the entire Nile forces itself through a gorge just seven metres wide. Along the banks: the greatest concentration of hippo and crocodile in East Africa, elephants drinking at dusk, and the elusive shoebill in the delta.

The Kazinga Channel wildlife corridor

The Kazinga Channel, Queen Elizabeth

A natural channel linking two lakes, and one of the densest gatherings of hippo on the continent. The afternoon launch drifts past buffalo wallowing in the shallows, elephants crossing at the narrows, and a shoreline crowded with pelicans, storks and fish eagles.
